Petrus International

We are based in the Vivek Building, number 40, right near the Hadapsar Industrial Estate. Being so close to the industrial hub makes sense for what we do. We handle a lot of international trade and sourcing for various materials. The office is usually filled with samples of different products we're looking at. It’s a busy environment because of all the movement in the estate nearby. We don't have a lot of fancy decorations on the walls, just maps and some calendars to keep track of shipping dates. The building is easy to spot once you're on the right street. We deal with a lot of emails and phone calls to people in different time zones, so sometimes someone is in the office quite late or very early in the morning. We’re a small team, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from answering the door to filing documents. It’s not always glamorous, but it keeps the business running. We have a lot of regular contacts we’ve known for years. The area can get pretty congested with truck traffic in the afternoons, which makes getting in and out a bit of a challenge. We just focus on the logistics and making sure the containers are moving like they should. It’s a steady job and we like the location despite the noise from the industrial side and the dusty roads around here.
