Harish Clearing Agency

Our office is on the first floor, Office No 4, in the Laxmi N building. We are located in Fort, specifically on Baner Road. This part of Mumbai is where a lot of the serious business happens, especially with the docks not too far away. At Harish Clearing Agency, we mostly handle the paperwork and logistics for goods coming in and out. It’s not the most exciting job in the world, but it’s necessary. My desk is usually buried under stacks of forms and shipping documents. We have to deal with customs and various departments, which can be a real headache sometimes. The building is an older one, so the stairs are a bit steep and the elevator doesn't always work perfectly. We’ve been here for a good number of years now. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. People find us because they need someone who knows how to navigate the rules. I spend a lot of my day on the phone or walking over to other offices to get things signed. It’s a lot of running around in the sun. We keep things simple and just try to get the clearances done as fast as the system allows. It’s a small operation, just me and a couple of clerks. We just keep at it day after day without too much fuss. It's a living and we know the Fort area well.
