Vinod Chemicals P. Ltd

You can find us over at DS-9 in Nirala Nagar, Lucknow. It’s a decent area, though finding a parking spot near our office in the afternoons can be a bit of a struggle. We’ve been running Vinod Chemicals from this location for quite a few years now. The business is mostly about handling different chemical supplies for industrial use. Our office is a bit old-fashioned, with tall steel cupboards full of files and some sample bottles sitting on the window sills. We don't really do retail, so it's not like people are walking in off the street to buy things. Most of our day is spent on the telephone or dealing with the transport guys who bring in the barrels. The Lucknow heat in May and June is pretty brutal, so we have a couple of old desert coolers humming away to keep the place bearable. It’s a small operation, really just me, my cousin, and two other guys who help with the heavy lifting and the inventory. We don't have a big mission statement or any of that. We just try to make sure that if a customer orders something, it gets delivered to their factory on time and in the right quantity. It's a lot of checking labels and making sure the paperwork matches what’s in the warehouse. We’ve been in this trade long enough to know the local suppliers and how to get things done.
