Cello Thermoware Ltd.

We are tucked away at number 5 in the Vakil Industrial Estate. It’s off Walbhat Road in Goregaon East, which is a part of the city that never really seems to get any sleep. If you know this area, you know it’s full of warehouses and workshops. The estate itself has several units, and we’ve been in this one for a good while. The trucks come in early on Walbhat Road, and you can hear the rumble of the engines all day long. Inside our space, it’s mostly about the work. We have our shelves and our floor space organized so we can find what we need, even if it looks a bit cluttered to an outsider. The walls have a few scuffs from moving things around, but that’s just part of being in an industrial area. It’s not the kind of place where you’d find fancy rugs or designer lighting. We have basic tube lights and sturdy tables. When it rains, the sound on the metal roof is quite loud, especially during the heavy monsoon months here in Mumbai. We usually have a fan going to keep the air moving because it can get quite stuffy. People who work here have been doing this for a long time, so we all know the rhythm of the place. It’s a straightforward setup for people who just want to get their work finished and go home to their families at the end of the day.
