Option One

Option One is located at No. 186 in the Gulab Shah Estate Chawl. We are right on LBS Marg in Kurla West, which is one of the busiest roads in Mumbai. If you know where the BEST Depot is, we are just opposite that, near SK Mandal. Living and working in a chawl means you are always surrounded by people and activity. Our space is tucked into the estate and it’s a bit of a tight squeeze, but it works for us. There is always noise from the traffic on LBS Marg and the buses pulling in and out of the depot. We handle a bit of everything here in terms of trading and supplies. The room is filled with ledgers and samples of what we sell. It’s an old-style setup with heavy wooden doors and narrow hallways. We’ve been in Kurla for a long time and we’ve seen the area change quite a bit. Despite the chaos outside, it’s fairly organized inside our four walls. We don't have a reception desk or a waiting room; people just walk right in and talk to us. It’s a very direct way of doing business. The heat can be tough in the summer because the building is old, but we keep the fans going. It’s just a normal place where we work hard and try to stay on top of the daily chores.
