Chancellor Leather Pvt. Ltd.

You can find us on the ground floor of Gold Filled Plaza, right there at No. 1. We are situated on the Sion Bandra Link Road in the Dharavi area. If you know this part of town, you know it’s always moving and always loud. Our shop smells strongly of leather, which I’ve grown to like over the years. We have stacks of hides in the back and finished goods on the display shelves out front. The Link Road is constantly packed with traffic, so there is a lot of dust that we have to wipe off the glass every morning. It’s a small shop, but we make good use of the space we have. We’ve got a couple of old chairs for customers to sit on, though they are a bit worn out now. Most of the work happens right here where you can see it. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It is just us and the leather. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit in the afternoon, and we just sit by the door and wait for it to come back on. The plaza itself is a bit of a landmark, so people find us easily enough. We keep the ledger in a drawer under the counter. It's a busy life, but being right here in the middle of Dharavi keeps things interesting every single day.
