Nelco Colour Impex

We run Nelco Colour Impex out of Reena Apartment in Malad West. Specifically, we’re at No. 5/36. It’s on Chin Choli Bunder Road, which gets really crowded during the monsoon season. The office is basically a converted apartment space. It feels more like a home than a workplace sometimes, which I guess is okay. We deal with dyes and pigments, so there’s always a bit of color on someone’s hands or clothes. It’s hard to keep the place perfectly clean when you’re moving that kind of stuff around. We have samples sitting on almost every flat surface. Most of our day is spent talking to suppliers or trying to figure out why a shipment is stuck at the port. It’s not a glamorous job. We have a small balcony where we take breaks and watch the traffic go by on the road below. The neighbors are used to us by now. They don’t mind the occasional delivery truck blocking the entrance for a few minutes. We’ve been here for quite a few years. It’s a family-run thing, so we don’t have many formal meetings or anything like that. We just talk across the room if we need something. Sometimes the internet goes slow and we all just have to wait. We do our best to keep things moving and make sure our regular customers get what they need. It’s just a simple, local operation in a busy part of Malad.
