Madhur Ind Limited

Our place is located at G 49 in the APMC Market-I, over in Phase-II of Vashi. If you’ve ever been to the Vashi market, you know how hectic it gets. It’s a huge area with trucks everywhere and people shouting prices. We operate out of a modest unit where we handle our daily trading. The floors are concrete and there are stacks of crates everywhere. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but it’s a working market. We get here very early, usually before the sun is even up, to catch the first arrivals. My desk is tucked in a corner between some sacks of grain and the phone. We don't have a website or any marketing stuff. We just talk to the people who come to the market. Most of our business is done through handshakes and old relationships. Sometimes the rain makes the loading area a bit of a mess, but we just keep moving. We have a small crew that helps with the loading and unloading. We all take turns getting tea from the local vendor. It’s a lot of physical work and long hours. We’ve been in this market for years, and we know our way around the different sections. It’s a noisy, busy life, but it’s what we know. We just focus on the daily tally and making sure the stock moves. The clock on the wall is five minutes fast, but we never bothered to fix it.
