Aruna Laskhmi Chemicals (P) Ltd.

Our place is at A 21, Street Number 3 in the MIDC area of Andheri East. Being in this part of Mumbai means we are always surrounded by traffic and lots of people rushing around. Aruna Lakshmi Chemicals has been based in this building for quite a long time. It’s a functional space, nothing like the modern offices you see in the newer parts of the city. We have a small office area and then some room in the back for the products we handle. The air always has a bit of an industrial smell to it, which we don't even notice anymore. We have a small team of people who have mostly been here for years. We aren't into big meetings or corporate talk. We just handle the orders and make sure the logistics are sorted out. The street outside is narrow and it can be a real headache when the delivery trucks are trying to get in and out. Sometimes we have to go out and help direct the traffic just to get things moving. We don't have a big fancy sign outside, just the name on the door. Our desks are usually covered in shipping papers and samples. We take our lunch breaks when we can, often just ordering something from a nearby stall. It’s a busy, sometimes chaotic environment, but we’ve managed to keep things running for a long time. It’s just how it is here.
