Atulya Chemicals

If you are looking for Atulya Chemicals, you have to find Gate No. 2 at B No.63/B on Princess Street. We are up on the 2nd Floor of Devkaran Mansion. This part of Mumbai is famous for chemicals and medicines, and this building is really old with high ceilings and those big, heavy doors. Getting up to the second floor is a bit of a workout because the stairs are steep and narrow, but we are used to it by now. The office is filled with the smell of old paper and whatever chemicals are being traded that day. Princess Street is always jammed with people and handcarts, so just getting into the building can be a mission. Inside, it is a bit like stepping back in time. We have heavy wooden desks and old-fashioned fans. It is a small space, so things get a bit messy with all the ledgers and sample bottles lying around. We spend our days talking to other traders and figuring out who has what in stock. It is a very social business in a way, as everyone knows everyone else in the Mansion. We do not have a fancy lobby or a receptionist. You just walk in and talk to whoever is free. It is a practical, old-school way of doing business in the heart of the city and it works for us. We just keep track of the market and handle the calls as they come in.
