Asiatic Trading Co.

Asiatic Trading Co. operates out of two different spots, which keeps us pretty busy moving around. One of our offices is at No. 2 Rely Smurti Building on S. V. Road in Malad West. That area is always bustling with shoppers and commuters. The other location is in the city at C. P. Tank, inside the Bhansali Building on 3rd Panjrapole Lane. That one is on the second floor in Room Number 7. It is quite a contrast between the two places. Malad feels more modern and spread out, while C. P. Tank is that classic, dense Mumbai feel where every inch of space is used for something. We do a lot of trading work, so there is always something to be moved or a document to be signed at one of the locations. Managing both can be a bit of a headache with the city traffic, but we make it work. Most of the time, I’m at one spot and the rest of the team is at the other. We use the phones a lot to stay in sync. The buildings are old, and the stairs can be steep, but that is just part of being in this business. We don't have any flashy signs or big marketing plans. We just keep track of the trade and make sure the accounts are balanced. It is a lot of back-and-forth, but it’s what we have done for years.
