B. A. Impex

Our office for B. A. Impex is located at 216, A.J.C. Bose Road, specifically in Suite No. 2B. It’s an old building, and the elevator sometimes has a mind of its own, so many of us just take the stairs. Inside, it’s mostly just desks, stacks of paperwork, and a few samples of the goods we import and export. We spend a lot of time on the phone or on the computer, checking where shipments are or trying to get the customs paperwork sorted out. It can be quite stressful when a container is delayed at the port. My desk is usually covered in sticky notes because there are so many small details to keep track of every day. We aren't a huge corporation with fancy carpets. It’s a practical space where we get our work done. Sometimes the tea lady comes in and we have a few minutes of quiet before the phones start ringing again. A.J.C. Bose Road is always jammed with traffic, so the sound of honking is the background music to our entire workday. We’ve been in this suite for years, and we know the other businesses on this floor pretty well. We just try to keep the business moving and handle the logistics as they come. It’s not glamorous, but it is how we make our living. We just focus on the task at hand and try to stay organized as much as possible.
