Swani Spice Mills Pvt. Ltd.

You can find us at 4, Hari Niwas on 'C' Road in Churchgate. It’s one of those older buildings that has been around for a long time. Being in South Bombay gives the place a certain feel, especially with the station being so close by. We are always dealing with the smell of spices here because that’s what we do. It’s a smell that sticks to your clothes after a while, but you get used to it. The office itself is pretty traditional. We don’t have any modern open-plan stuff going on. It’s just desks, chairs, and a lot of ledgers and samples. 'C' Road can get quite crowded with people walking to the train, so there’s always a bit of a buzz outside our windows. We spend our days talking to suppliers and checking on the quality of the batches coming in. It’s a lot of detail work. Sometimes the lift in the building acts up, so we end up taking the stairs, which keeps us moving. We’ve been operating out of Churchgate for a long time and we like the location despite the busyness. It’s easy for people to find us. We don’t spend much on decorating the place because we’re usually too busy making sure the spice shipments are on time. It’s a straightforward business and we like it that way. Everyone here knows their role, from the sorting to the final dispatch, and we just keep it moving.
