G Loucatos & Company

G Loucatos & Company is located at 12 J N Heredia Road in Ballard Estate, near Carnac Bunder. This part of Mumbai feels different from the rest of the city with its wide streets and old stone buildings. We’ve been in this office for a long time. The ceilings are high and the windows are tall, but it still gets hot in the summer despite the fans. We handle a lot of different trade things. It’s mostly sitting at desks, talking on the phone, and looking at ledgers. We don't have a big storefront where people walk in off the street. Most of our work is done through long-standing relationships with other businesses. I remember when the area was even busier with the port activity. Now it's a bit quieter, but the building still has that solid, heavy feeling. My clothes always get a bit of that old building dust on them. I usually bring my lunch from home and eat it at the desk while reading the news. There are several of us working here, and we’ve all been together for years, so we know each other's habits pretty well. We aren't a big corporation with fancy titles. We just get the work done and go home to our families in the evening. It’s a predictable routine, and after so many years, I’ve grown to like the rhythm of it. It feels like we are part of the history of Ballard Estate.
