Ekaksh Overseas

You can find us at Office No. 531 in the Star Chamber building. We’re right at Hari Har Chowk on Rajendra Prashad Marg. It’s a central location, so there’s always something happening outside. We started Ekaksh Overseas to handle international trade, mostly because we saw an opening for it in this area. It’s a small office, but it works for us. We spend a lot of time on the computer looking at shipping schedules and talking to agents. It’s not the most exciting work to describe, but it’s important. We’ve had to learn a lot of the rules by trial and error over the years. Sometimes a shipment gets stuck for no reason, and you just have to be patient and make the right calls. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. Most people find us through word of mouth or because they’ve seen our sign at the Star Chamber. We try to be straight with people about costs and timing. If something is going to take three weeks, we tell them it'll take three weeks. We don't like making promises we can't keep. It’s just a few of us here trying to build something steady. The building gets a bit hot in the summer, but the fans keep us going. We usually have the radio on in the background while we sort through the latest customs forms. It's a busy life but we enjoy it most days.
