V. D. Parekh Seeds Pvt. Ltd.

You can find our office in the Mehta Building on B.R.B. Base Road. We are on the second floor, in Room H/10. It’s right in the middle of a very busy and crowded part of the city. We deal with seeds, which has been our main thing for a long time. The office is often full of bags and small packets because we are always checking the quality of what we are sending out. It’s a private limited company, but it’s really just a family-type atmosphere inside. We have a GPO box for our mail because it’s a bit easier than relying on the building's mail sometimes. The building is quite old, and the elevator sometimes has a mind of its own, so we often just take the stairs to get up. Seeds are the start of everything in farming, so we take the work seriously, even if we don't act all corporate about it. We talk to a lot of growers and local distributors. They want to know if the seeds will work well for their specific soil. We don’t have fancy brochures or anything. We just talk through the options with whoever comes in to see us. It gets a bit hectic during the planting seasons when everyone is in a hurry. The rest of the year is more about planning and organizing our stock. We’ve been at this address for many years and people know the Mehta Building is where to find us. It’s a simple office for a very traditional kind of business.
