Shree Raj Chemicals

Our place, Shree Raj Chemicals, is situated in Masjid Bunder West, specifically in Room No 15 on the 2nd floor of 310/312 R A Kidwai Road. If you’ve ever been to Masjid Bunder, you know how crowded and narrow the streets are. It’s a real struggle just to get through the crowd sometimes, especially when the handcarts are out. Our building is one of those old ones with a narrow staircase that’s seen a lot of foot traffic over the years. Being on the second floor gives us a little bit of distance from the direct noise of the street, but you can still hear the shouting and the constant horns all day long. The room we work out of isn’t very big at all. We have desks piled with papers and some samples sitting on the wooden shelves. It’s a very traditional setup. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to suppliers or coordinating with people down at the docks. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know how to do. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the old ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking sound when it’s on high, but it works for us. We don’t have a website or do any fancy advertising. Most of our business comes from people who have known us for years in this specific neighborhood. It’s a busy, cramped, and noisy way to work, but it’s our daily reality here.
