S. L. Harikishan & Co.

You can find S. L. Harikishan & Co. down at the Kriplani Estate on Saki Vihar Road in Andheri East. Anyone who knows Mumbai knows that this area is always loud and full of traffic. Our office is just one of many in the estate, but we’ve been here long enough that the security guards and the local tea stall owner know us by name. We deal with various trading activities and industrial supplies. It’s the kind of place where there is always a stack of papers on the desk and the phone never stops ringing for long. We aren't a big operation with hundreds of employees. It’s just a handful of us making sure things move from point A to point B. The office is a bit cramped because of all the files we keep, but we know where everything is. Saki Vihar Road is always a mess during monsoon, but we still make it in. We don't have a mission statement on the wall or anything like that. We just focus on getting the orders right and making sure our suppliers are happy. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. Some days are slower than others, which gives us time to catch up on the bookkeeping. It’s a practical way to run a business, and it has worked for us so far in this busy part of Andheri.
