Mukand Limited

Our office for Mukand Limited is over in Lalbaug at Mehta Mansion. It’s on Dr. B.A. Road, which is a pretty iconic part of Mumbai. This building has seen a lot over the years, and so have we. The hallways are narrow and the ceiling fans have a bit of a rattle to them, but it’s where we do our best thinking. We handle a lot of the administrative side of the business from here. It’s not a shiny new glass tower; it’s an old-school Mumbai office where people actually work hard. We have stacks of ledgers and computers that have seen better days. Lalbaug is a crowded, lively area, especially during the festivals, and we’re right in the thick of it. Sometimes the noise from the street is so loud we have to close the windows, but then it gets too hot. It’s a trade-off. We’ve got a small crew here who have been working together for ages. We know who likes their tea with extra sugar and who is going to be late because of the local train delays. We don't use big words to describe what we do. We just look at the orders, talk to the suppliers, and make sure the company keeps running. It’s a practical way of living. We don’t have a mission statement on the wall, just a calendar and some old photos of the worksites. It’s simple and it works for us every day.
