Ramesh Boxes

Ramesh Boxes is tucked away in Room No 87 on Khade Marg. We're near Nana Chowk, which is always busy. Gamdevi Road has been our home for a long time now. It’s a small space, mostly filled with cardboard and tape. We don’t have much room for big desks, so we just work around the piles. It’s a bit dusty, honestly, but that’s the nature of the box business. People come by looking for specific sizes, and we do our best to find what they need in the stack. It’s not a high-tech operation. We use old machines and do a lot of things by hand. The neighborhood is tight-knit, everyone knows everyone else’s business. Sometimes the delivery trucks have trouble getting down the narrow road, but we make it work. We started out small and stayed that way because it’s easier to manage. You won’t find any glossy brochures here. Just some people who know how to fold and staple things properly. The light in the back room is a bit dim, but we've gotten used to it. Nana Chowk is loud with the trains and the cars, but inside the shop, it’s mostly just the sound of paper moving. We take our lunch breaks together when things are slow. That’s just how it is at Ramesh Boxes. We just keep folding and stacking.
