Akay Dye Chem Industries

Working out of Byculla has been our routine for years. We are located in the Madhusanchay Society, specifically in B-103. It’s a residential-cum-commercial sort of vibe here. Dealing with dyes and chemicals means there’s always a specific smell in the air around our workspace. It’s not a massive factory floor, just a practical setup where we handle the orders and keep track of our chemical supplies. Byculla is an old part of the city, and you can feel that history in the buildings around us. We spend a lot of time on the phone with textile folks or small workshops that need specific colors for their batches. Sometimes things get a bit messy with the samples, but that’s just how it goes in this line of work. We aren't trying to be some giant corporation. We’re just local people who know a thing or two about industrial dyes. Most of the day is spent checking the logs and making sure the containers are sealed right. The society is usually quiet in the afternoons, but our unit stays busy with the dispatch work. It’s a lot of manual tracking since we prefer doing things the old-fashioned way. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit, but our spot in B-103 remains the same. It's a small team here, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from lifting crates to writing out the invoices by hand.
