Ibis Chemie International

Our office is located in Dalamal Chambers, right over in New Marine Lines. It is a classic Mumbai building, full of history and a lot of stairs. Being in room 211 means we are right in the thick of the city's business hub. We deal with chemicals, which sounds very technical, but our daily life is mostly about phone calls, emails, and tracking shipments. The view outside isn't much, but the energy of the area keeps us going. It’s a small team here. We don't have those open-plan offices you see in magazines. It’s more of a traditional setup with desks piled with files and samples. We spend a lot of time talking to suppliers and making sure the logistics for the international side of things don't fall apart. It can be stressful when a ship is delayed or a port is closed, but we have learned to stay patient. We aren't here to give sales pitches. We just connect people with the chemical components they need for their own manufacturing. Most of us have been working together for years, so we know how each other likes their coffee. It’s a very human way to run a business. We handle the paperwork, navigate the regulations, and try to get home before the local trains get too crowded. It is just a regular office life in a very busy, noisy city. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves in a quiet place.
