Rising Impex

Harihar Niwas is an old building in 3rd Khetwadi, and that’s where you’ll find us. Rising Impex has been here for years, through all sorts of weather and changes in the neighborhood. Khetwadi is a place where everyone kind of knows everyone else, which is nice. Our office is a bit cramped because we have so many records from over the years, but we know where everything is. Mostly, we spend our time talking to people on the phone and typing out emails. The business is all about moving goods from one place to another, so there’s a lot of logistics involved. Some days it feels like we’re just solving one puzzle after another. The stairs up to the office are a bit steep, so we don't go down more than we have to. We usually get a tiffin delivered for lunch. It’s a simple way of working. We don't have fancy logos or a marketing team. It’s just us, the desks, and the work that needs doing. Sometimes the neighbor's cat wanders in, stays for a bit, and then leaves. That’s about as exciting as it gets around here, besides the work itself. We focus on getting the shipments cleared and making sure the paperwork is solid. It’s what we’ve always done and what we’ll probably keep doing for a long time.
