Essar Steel Limited

You can find Essar Steel Limited over at 301 Prem Apt in the Ravishanker Sankul building. It’s on Bhatar Road, which is a pretty well-known area in Surat. We’ve been operating out of this apartment for quite a while now. It’s a bit different than having a big warehouse, but it works for what we do. We handle a lot of the administrative side of the steel business here. There are a few desks pushed together and heaps of folders everywhere. It’s a bit cluttered, but we know where everything is. The lift in the building is a bit slow, so most of us just take the stairs. We spend a lot of time on the phone with clients and sites. It’s noisy sometimes with all the phones ringing at once. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. Whoever is closest to the phone just picks it up. We’ve got a small kettle for tea, and that’s about as fancy as it gets. It’s a good group of people here, mostly locals who live nearby. We don't do much in the way of fancy marketing. Most of our work comes from people we’ve known for years. It’s just how things are done on Bhatar Road. Sometimes we have people dropping in just to chat about the market. We don't mind it. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it’s kept us going this long. That is pretty much our daily life here in Surat.
