Gopinath Furnishing

Our place is at UL 29 in the Akshardham Complex. We are situated near Premchand Nagar on Judges Bangalow Road in Bodakdev. It’s a nice enough area, though the road gets very busy during the day. We handle furnishings, so the shop is full of fabric rolls, curtain samples, and different materials for the home. It’s a bit of a maze inside with all the colors and textures hanging around. We’ve been here in Bodakdev for a while now. It’s a local shop where we spend our time measuring cloth and talking to people about what might look okay in their living rooms. We aren't interior designers with fancy degrees; we just know what fabrics work. The complex can be a bit quiet in the mornings, then picks up later on. We usually have a few rolls of fabric being unrolled on the counter at any given time. There’s always lint or little bits of thread on our clothes. It’s just part of the job. We don’t have a big corporate mission. We just open the shop, try to keep the stock organized, and help whoever walks through the door. Sometimes we have to hunt through the back to find a specific pattern someone asked for. It’s a small, practical business. We like the neighborhood and the people who come in from the nearby societies. It’s just us doing what we know how to do.
