S K Corporation

S K Corporation is over in Mahim at shop number 39 inside the Banwari Compound. The compound is one of those old industrial areas that feels like it hasn’t changed much since the eighties. There’s a big iron gate at the entrance and the ground is all uneven from years of heavy trucks coming through. Our shop is just one of many in the row. It’s a bit dark inside because the windows are high up and covered in a layer of grime from the street. We use old-fashioned tube lights that flicker for a bit before they stay on. S K Corporation isn't a place for fancy meetings or flashy presentations. We have a couple of heavy desks and some metal cupboards where we keep all our records. Everything is recorded in thick ledgers because we haven't quite moved everything over to the computer yet. It feels more reliable that way sometimes. The air in Mahim is salty because we aren't too far from the sea, and you can feel that dampness in the shop during the monsoon. We have a small kettle for making tea and that’s about as far as our amenities go. We are just a local business doing our part in the supply chain. We know the other shop owners in the compound and we help each other out when someone needs to borrow a trolley or a ladder. It’s a simple way of working.
