Philia Imports And Exports Private Limited

Our office is right on the first floor of the Panthallookkaran building. If you know the Thrissur bus stop in Kodakara, you’ve probably walked right past us. It’s a busy spot with lots of people moving around all the time. Philia Imports and Exports isn't a massive operation, just a local business trying to keep things running. We deal with bringing goods in and sending them out, which keeps us pretty busy. The stairs up to the office are a bit steep, and it gets loud with the buses right outside, but we’ve gotten used to the noise. We spend a lot of time checking lists and making sure the crates are packed correctly. It's not the kind of job you see in movies. There’s a lot of waiting for customs or waiting for a shipment to arrive at the port. We drink a lot of coffee to stay awake during the slow parts. Most of our day is just handling paperwork and talking to transporters. We’ve lived in Thrissur all our lives, so we know the area well. It feels good to run a business from here, even if it gets a bit hectic. We don’t have a fancy lobby or anything, just some desks and a lot of files. Sometimes we forget to lock the back door, but it’s a safe enough neighborhood. It’s just us doing what we know how to do. We close up around five.
