Metro Pharma

Metro Pharma is located right on Sai Nagarmafco Road, not too far from Khoja Colony. It’s a busy area and we’ve been operating out of this space for quite some time now. Dealing with pharmaceuticals means there is always a lot of checking and double-checking involved with the stock levels. We spend a good chunk of our day just moving crates around and making sure everything is where it should be. The humidity in this part of the city can be a bit of a pain for some of the packaging, so we have to keep an eye on that. Our team is small, mostly just a few of us who know the routine inside out. We don’t bother with big ads or fancy signs. Most people who need us already know where to find us near the Mafco side. Usually, the mornings are for sorting out the inventory that arrived the night before. By afternoon, we are usually busy packing up orders for the local clinics and retailers. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting boxes and writing out slips by hand when the printer acts up. We drink a lot of chai to keep going through the afternoon slump. Sometimes the road gets blocked by trucks, which slows everything down. We just take things one day at a time here. It’s a steady rhythm of counting pills and checking expiry dates on the back of the boxes.
