ALLIED OVERSEAS

Allied Overseas is located over in Ghatkopar East at 146/3985 New Pant Nagar, specifically on the V.B. Lane Extension. If you know Mumbai, you know how packed this area gets at almost any hour. Our office is tucked away in a spot that’s always buzzing with activity. We do a lot of overseas work, so there’s always something being loaded or unloaded nearby. The lanes are narrow, and sometimes the delivery trucks get stuck, which causes a bit of a mess with the local traffic. It’s just part of working here, I guess. We have a small staff, mostly family and a couple of neighbors who help out with the packing and the paperwork. It gets pretty hot in the summer, but we have a couple of fans that keep the air moving while we sort through the orders. We don’t really do much in the way of advertising or marketing. Most people find us through word of mouth or because they saw our crates on the street. Working in Ghatkopar means you’re never really in a quiet spot, but the energy keeps us going through the long afternoons. We spend a lot of time double-checking labels and making sure the addresses are correct because overseas shipping is expensive if you make a mistake. There's always a stack of chai glasses on the table by the end of the day. It’s a busy life, but it’s what we know. We just focus on getting the crates out the door on time.
