Indian Spice Foodstuff Exporters Association

Our office is up on the 530/531 floor of the Commodity Exchange Building in Vashi. If you’ve ever been to the Commodity Exchange, you know it’s a massive place where a lot of India’s trade happens. We deal with the spice and foodstuff export side of things for the association. The smell of spices is everywhere in this area, which is something you never really get tired of. We spend our time coordinating between different exporters and making sure everything follows the association rules. It’s a lot of data entry, phone calls to the ports, and meetings with traders. Vashi is a hub for this kind of work, so we are right where we need to be. The building is always full of people rushing around with papers and samples. Our rooms are filled with files and sometimes samples of turmeric or chili. We aren't here to give you a polished sales pitch. We just manage the association’s needs and help our members out when they have questions about exports. It’s a busy environment and the pace can be quite fast. We don't have a lot of time for fluff. We just focus on the logistics and the paperwork that keeps the spice trade moving. It’s a unique place to work, right in the middle of all that commerce and tradition.
