Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council

Our base is over in the BK Guda area of Hyderabad. The exact spot is Lig I 58. It’s a standard sort of building for this neighborhood, which is mostly residential but has been seeing more businesses move in lately. We are the Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council. Our daily routine involves a lot of paperwork related to shipping and international regulations. It’s not the kind of thing that makes for exciting stories, but it keeps the industry moving. The office itself is pretty basic. We have a few cupboards for the files and some heavy desks that have been here since we opened. We don’t have a fancy reception area with a TV or anything like that. If you come in, you just see people at their desks or talking on the phone. Hyderabad is a hot city, especially in the summer, so we keep the fans going all day. We know the neighbors around here and sometimes we share a bit of gossip over the wall. It’s a friendly enough place to work. We don’t have big meetings with PowerPoint slides. Usually, we just sit around a table and figure out what needs to be sent where. It’s a very hands-on way of doing things. We just stay focused on our tasks and try to keep everything organized for the exports. It is practical work and we don't try to make it sound more important than it is.
