J. K. Star Private Limited

We are located in the Bharat Diamond Bourse, which most people just call the BDB. It's in the G Block of the Bandra Kurla Complex. Our office is GE-6051. Being in Bandra East makes things easier for some of our staff who live nearby, though the commute for others is a bit of a drag. J. K. Star Private Limited is basically a group of us who have been in this trade for quite a few years. Our office isn't anything you'd see in a magazine. It’s a functional space with bright lights so we can see what we are doing. We spend most of our day looking at goods and talking to traders who stop by. The BDB is so big that you can get lost if you don't know the blocks, but G Block is pretty central. We like being here because everything is close by—the customs, the banks, and the food courts. It saves us a lot of time. Sometimes it gets a bit loud when everyone is talking at once in the hallways, but inside the office, we try to stay organized. We deal with a lot of different people every day. It’s a lot of sorting, grading, and phone calls. We don’t really do much marketing or anything; word of mouth is usually how people find us in the exchange. It's a steady way to work and it keeps us occupied from morning until evening. We just do our thing and stay busy.
