Pimpalpaan Organic Farmers Producer Company Limited

If you look for us in Mumbai, you will find our office in the Vakratunda Corporate Park, specifically at room 601. It is right off Arrey Road in Goregaon East. It's a busy part of the city, with a lot of traffic and people always in a rush to get somewhere. Our group, Pimpalpaan Organic Farmers Producer Company Limited, tries to bring a bit of the countryside into this concrete world of ours. Being in Mumbai City means we are far from the actual farms, but we spend our days connecting with the farmers out in the rest of Maharashtra. It’s a lot of phone calls and sitting at desks, which isn't always fun, but it is necessary to keep things moving. We aren't a big, polished corporation with a hundred employees. We are just a small team trying to make sense of the organic market. The office gets a bit messy with files and samples, and sometimes the tea runs out before the afternoon is over. That is just life in Goregaon. We don’t use fancy language because we aren't fancy people. We just want to make sure the farmers we work with get a fair shake and that people in the city get decent food. It is a long way from the fields to the 6th floor of a corporate park, but we bridge that gap as best as we can. Every day brings a new set of problems to solve, but that is part of the job.
