Param Chem, Mumbai

We are located in Mumbai, specifically on Samuel Street. If you have ever been down that way, you know how crowded and tight the lanes can be. Our office is Room No. 30 on the 3rd floor of building number 283. It is an old building, like most of them in this part of the city, but it serves us well. Param Chem has been functioning from this small space for a long time. Climbing those three floors every morning definitely keeps us awake. We handle chemical trading mostly. It’s a lot of coordinating between suppliers and people who need the goods. The phone rings a lot, and there is always someone coming in with a delivery note or a bill. Mumbai is fast, and Samuel Street is even faster. You have to be quick to keep up with the market prices. We don't have much room for a big warehouse here, so most of the stuff moves directly or stays in other godowns. It’s just a small group of us working here. We know the neighbors and the tea stall guy downstairs knows us too. It is a very local way of doing business, even if the chemicals we handle go all over the place. We just try to keep our head down and get the day's tasks finished before the evening rush on the trains starts.
