Prakash Mica Exports Pvt. Ltd.

We are located in Block B, number 218 in Lake Town. It’s a nice area, much calmer than the center of the city. There’s a bit of greenery around and you can see people walking their dogs in the mornings. We work with mica here. Mica is a mineral that comes in thin sheets and we export it to companies that use it for all kinds of industrial things. In our office, we have piles of it that we sort through by hand. It’s shiny and a bit messy because it flakes off easily, so the floor always has a bit of a sparkle to it. The building we are in is just a regular house that we’ve converted into an office and a small warehouse area. We have a few ladies who come in to help with the sorting and packing. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we have a good routine down. We don't spend money on advertising or fancy logos. We just rely on the fact that we’ve been around for years and people know we do a decent job with the mica. Sometimes we sit on the porch during our tea break and just watch the cars go by. It’s a quiet business and we like it that way. We aren't looking to expand into some giant corporation; we just like doing our work.
