Snack Avenue Llp

Snack Avenue Llp is tucked away inside Kansara Chawl, right in the middle of the Kalbadevi area. If you know this part of Mumbai, you know how incredibly crowded Bhoiwada 1st Lane gets during the day. We are on the ground floor at 94/96. It’s a very tight space because the building is quite old, but it’s right where all the market action is. We spend our days making and packing various snacks. The smell of hot oil and ground spices is everywhere in our workshop. It’s definitely not a quiet or peaceful place to work. There are always people shouting and handcarts clicking past the door on the uneven stones. We started this because we knew the food business in Bhuleshwar was always moving and there was always demand. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy office with air conditioning. Most of our business meetings happen while standing up in the narrow alleyway while we wait for a delivery. We’ve got a couple of big stoves and some long packing tables. It gets incredibly humid during the monsoon season, and we have to be very careful with how we store the ingredients. We aren't doing anything revolutionary or new. We just make the kind of snacks that people around here like to eat. Our staff knows almost everyone else in the chawl. It’s a real community effort to get things through those narrow streets sometimes. We just focus on the next batch.
