Aanand Exporters

If you look for No. 11 Santhanatha Puram 6th Street, you’ll find us. Aanand Exporters has been operating out of this building for a good stretch of time. The street is a bit narrow, so it’s always an adventure when a large vehicle comes through. We spend most of our time in the back room where the inventory is kept. It’s not a polished showroom or anything. It’s a working space with concrete floors and a lot of shelves. The 6th street area is a mix of homes and small workshops, so there is always the sound of someone hammering or a motorbike revving nearby. We like the vibe of the place. It keeps us grounded. Our team is small, just a few of us who have known each other for years. We handle the exports bit by bit, checking every item before it goes into a crate. Sometimes we stay late when a big order needs to go out, and we’ll order food from the place around the corner. We don't use many fancy computers, just what we need to get the records straight. People around here know us as the guys who are always moving boxes. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s what we do. We take things as they come and try to keep our heads down and work. That is the way it has always been at No. 11. We don't need much more than a good cup of coffee and a clear schedule.
