Balaji Food Ingredients

Our office is located in Hiranandani Estate on G B Road. We are up in Flat A-2001 and 2002. It’s a nice area, quite different from the usual industrial blocks. Balaji Food Ingredients is where we coordinate everything. We don't do the heavy manufacturing right here in the flat; it's mostly where we handle the orders, the sourcing, and the phone calls. The view from the window is good, but we’re usually too busy looking at spreadsheets to notice. It can get a bit cramped with all the samples we have lying around. There are jars of powders and extracts on almost every shelf. We spend a lot of time talking to suppliers and making sure the shipments are on track. It’s not always smooth sailing. Sometimes the cargo gets stuck or the quality isn't what we asked for, and then we have a long day of sorting it out. We aren't a giant company with a huge marketing budget. It’s just a dedicated group of us making sure food manufacturers get what they need. We eat our lunch together in the small pantry and talk about the business. It’s a practical way to work. We like being in this part of town because it’s easy for people to find us. We just keep our heads down and do the work. There's no fancy mission statement on the wall, just a bunch of delivery schedules and contact lists.
