Paras Carriers

You can find us at 27 Lal Baug, inside Pradeep Mansion. We’re very close to Ganesh Gali, which gets incredibly crowded during the festival season. For the rest of the year, it’s just a regular, busy street. Paras Carriers is what we call the business. We deal with moving stuff from one place to another, which is always a bit of a puzzle in a city like this. The office in Pradeep Mansion is where we coordinate everything. It’s an old building with high ceilings and heavy doors. We have maps and schedules pinned to the walls. Most of the time, our drivers are out on the road, so the office stays relatively quiet except for the phone. I’ve been doing this for years, and I’ve learned that things rarely go exactly to plan. You just have to be ready to change things up at the last minute. Lal Baug is a great place to be based because it’s so central, but the narrow lanes can be a nightmare for bigger trucks. We just make it work. We aren't trying to be the biggest carrier out there, we just want to get the loads delivered without any trouble. It’s a simple goal but it keeps us on our toes every single day. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for the trucks to check in.
