Ikon Steel

Ikon Steel is located in the Girgaon area, which is one of the older parts of Mumbai with very narrow streets. Our office is on the 3rd floor of the Hafeez Building on Honda Western Road. It is a bit of a climb up the stairs, but you get used to it after a while. The building itself has a lot of history and you can feel it in the thick walls and the old-style windows. Being in the steel business means we are often dealing with heavy samples and a lot of technical specifications. The office is usually filled with the sound of the traffic coming from the road below. We spend a lot of time on the phone with suppliers and checking on deliveries. Girgaon is a very traditional neighborhood, and we have been here long enough to know most of the other business owners on the block. We don't have a big showroom; it is more of a place where the administrative work and the planning happen. There are stacks of catalogs and metal grade charts everywhere you look. It’s a straightforward operation. We don't try to dress things up to look like something they aren't. We just provide the steel that people need for their projects and make sure the logistics are handled. It’s a busy environment but we prefer it that way. Most of our days are spent managing the flow of materials through this old city center.
