Ajanta Agencies

Ajanta Agencies is tucked away in Gala No. 2 inside the Bajaj Industrial Estate. If you know Navghar, you know it can be a bit of a maze back there near Vasai Road East. We’ve been in this unit for several years now. It’s a concrete floor and high shelves, mostly filled with boxes that we move in and out all day long. We don't have a big sign out front, just the number on the door. It’s mostly just paperwork and lifting crates for us. The tea stall around the corner is where we spend our breaks. We deal with various suppliers, and sometimes the shipments arrive late, which throws our whole schedule off. That’s just the nature of being an agency in an industrial zone. We don't have any fancy mission statements or corporate goals. Our main thing is just making sure the right box gets to the right person without getting smashed. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the back door, so we have to move the pallets around during monsoon season. It’s a bit of a hassle, but we manage. Most of our neighbors in the estate are doing the same kind of thing. We know most of the drivers by name now. It’s a decent way to make a living, even if it’s just moving things from one place to another. We stay until the last truck is loaded every night.
