Shailesh Bright

You can find us at No 2/A in Gopal Estate. It’s easy to find because we are right opposite the Punjab National Bank branch in Odhav. The estate is always loud with the sounds of machinery and trucks coming in, which is pretty typical for this part of the city. We work with bright bars and similar materials day in and day out. Our space isn't huge, but we make the most of it by stacking things neatly where we can. The morning starts early here with the shutters going up around eight. Most of the time, the floor is covered in metal shavings or a bit of oil, which is just part of the job. We aren't trying to be anything fancy. We just focus on the work right in front of us. My brother and I usually handle the logistics while a couple of other guys help with the heavy lifting. The bank across the street is a good landmark for people who haven't visited us before. Odhav is a busy hub, and we’ve seen a lot of businesses come and go over the years. We stay busy with the local demand and try to keep our records straight without using too many complicated systems. It’s a straightforward way to make a living, and we enjoy the routine of it all, even when it gets a bit hectic.
