Biswa Shankari Shellac Industries

Biswa Shankari Shellac Industries operates out of 10B, Creek Lane. It’s a quiet little spot, though the lane can get narrow when deliveries are arriving. Shellac is one of those things that people don't think about much, but we live and breathe it here. The building has been here for a long time, and you can tell by the floors. They’ve seen a lot of boots walking across them over the years. We have a routine that hasn't changed much since we started. There’s a lot of weighing, measuring, and checking the quality of what comes in and what goes out. It’s a bit of a dusty job, and it’s definitely not for everyone. We wear old clothes because there’s no point in trying to stay clean in this line of work. We aren't a massive factory. We’re more of a small-scale operation where everyone knows how to do every job. If someone is out sick, the rest of us just pick up the slack. We don't have a lot of meetings or long discussions. We just see what needs to be done and we do it. The neighborhood knows us as the place on the lane that’s always got something going on. We don't do much in the way of promotion. The work usually speaks for itself, and word travels fast enough around these streets.
