Amalgam Speciality Foods India Pvt. Ltd.

We operate out of Fashion House in the MIDC area of Andheri (E). Amalgam Speciality Foods is basically a group of us working in the middle of a very busy industrial zone. There are trucks constantly moving in and out of the gates around here. Our space is functional and mostly used for coordinating the food products we handle. It's not very glamorous, despite being in a building called Fashion House. We spend our days looking at spreadsheets and talking to shipping companies. We handle a lot of specialty items, so we have to be careful about storage temperatures and expiry dates. The air conditioning is always on high because the outside heat in Andheri can be brutal. We have a small pantry where we make our own snacks during the afternoon slump. Most of the people here have been in the food business for decades. They know the market better than any textbook. We don't spend money on fancy brochures or big ads. We just focus on getting the frozen or dried goods to where they need to go. Sometimes the traffic on the way to the airport makes things difficult, but that's just life in MIDC. We keep our heads down and get through the daily tasks. It’s a practical way of working that has kept us going for years. It's busy but we are used to the noise by now.
