Ashoka Enterprises

Okhla Industrial Estate Phase I is a pretty intense place to be every day. We are at D-127, and if you know the area, you know how the trucks line up and the roads get all chewed up. Ashoka Enterprises has been part of this landscape for a long time. The building we are in has that typical industrial feel, very practical and not at all for show. We spend our mornings checking the inventory and our evenings making sure the shipments are ready for the next day. It’s a lot of physical work and sometimes it gets exhausting with the Delhi heat and the dust from the construction nearby. We don't have a big corporate story to tell. We just started this because we needed to make a living and we knew the industry. Over the years, we've just kept adding more stuff to the warehouse. It’s a bit of a maze inside now, but we know where everything is kept. Most of the other business owners around here are friends, so we grab tea together when there's a break in the work. We don't use any big words to describe what we do. We just come in, do the work, and go home to our families. It’s a solid way to live, even if it’s not the most exciting thing in the world. We just try to stay honest and keep moving.
