Shri Shail Medi Farms

Our place is at 66-A in Vidhya Vihar Colony, right near the Partap Nagar Chowk. Unlike the big industrial parks, we are tucked into a more residential-feeling colony, though it is still quite busy. We deal with medicinal plants and farming products. The office is a bit different because we often have the smell of dried herbs and soil around us. It’s a small operation, and we like it that way. We spend a lot of our time coordinating with growers and checking the quality of the plants that come in. The desks are usually covered in small glass jars, packets of seeds, and a lot of handwritten notes. We don't have a corporate structure with lots of managers; it’s just a few of us doing everything from answering the phone to packing up orders. The traffic at the Chowk can be a nightmare during the evening, so we usually try to finish up our paperwork before the rush starts. Sometimes the neighbors come by to chat, which adds to the local feel of the place. We aren't interested in sounding like a big pharmaceutical company. We are just people who know a lot about plants and want to provide them to those who need them. It is a quiet kind of work, very different from the noise of a factory. We just take things one day at a time here in our corner of Vidhya Vihar.
