Philips Carbon Black Ltd

If you know Baroda, you probably know where Bank Road is. We are located in Mandavi, specifically at Jagmal’S Pole, right across from Vasant Bhau’S Lane. Philips Carbon Black Ltd has been part of this area for a long time. It’s an old part of the city, so the lanes are narrow and there’s a lot of history in the walls around us. Our office isn’t a modern skyscraper; it’s more of a traditional building that fits into the local scenery. We deal with carbon black, which is a very specific industry, but day-to-day, it’s mostly just people at desks handling orders and talking on the phone. The noise from the street outside is always there, and you can hear the vendors and the traffic all day long. We have a small group of people working here, and we’ve all known each other for quite a while. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows how they like their coffee. We don’t go in for the polished corporate image. We just show up, do the paperwork, and manage the accounts. Sometimes the heat in Baroda makes the office a bit stuffy, but we have the fans going. It’s a very local way of doing business. We are just part of the fabric of Mandavi, doing our bit in the carbon industry without making much of a fuss. We usually close up early on Saturdays to get some rest.
