Neptune Impex

If you are looking for us, we are up on the first floor of the Vallabh Co-Operative Housing Society building, Room 101. We’re right on the 90 Feet Road in Dharavi. It’s a very active area, always something happening outside the window. Our office isn’t much to look at, just a lot of boxes and a few computers that are usually humming away. We do import and export work, so there’s a lot of paperwork involved. Customs forms, shipping manifests, and emails from people in different time zones keep us pretty busy throughout the day. The room is a bit cramped because we use half of it for storage of samples and the other half for the desks. Sometimes the lift in the building is out of order, so we end up carrying things up and down the stairs, which is quite a workout. We get a lot of noise from the trucks passing by on the main road, but you get used to it after a week or so. We don't have any big signs or fancy reception areas. Most people who visit are just delivery drivers or the occasional local trader we’ve known for years. We make our own coffee in the corner and try to keep the files from piling up too high on the floor. It’s just how we run things here, day in and day out, making sure the goods get from one place to another. There is always a stack of empty lunch boxes near the door.
