Rai Exim

Out here in 457 Kailsahpuri Colony, things stay pretty active. Rai Exim operates out of Mughalsarai, which is a place that always feels like it’s on the move. We deal with export and import stuff, so there’s always a lot of paperwork sitting on the desks. It’s not the kind of office where everything is perfectly silent. You can hear the sounds of the colony outside, kids playing or a neighbor’s scooter starting up. We have a few computers that have seen better days, but they do the job for tracking shipments. Mughalsarai is a big transit hub, so it makes sense for us to be here. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing emails to people we might never actually meet in person. The rooms are a bit cramped when we have a lot of samples lying around, but we manage. Sometimes the tea arrives late, and that’s the biggest drama of the day. We don’t have a big marketing department or anything like that. It’s just a few of us making sure things get from one place to another without too much trouble. The heat in the afternoon can be something else, so the fans are always going. We’ve got stacks of files that need filing, and there is always one more thing to check before we head home for the evening. We have a small balcony where we stack empty crates. It is a busy spot, but it is home for the business.
