Pankaj Traders

Pankaj Traders is located at Shop No. 5 in the Vikram Arcade, right on Railway Road in Mulund East. If you know the area, you know how busy it gets because of the station. We can hear the announcements from the platform throughout the day. The shop itself is not very large, so we have to be smart about how we stack our stock. Every inch of shelf space is used for something. We spend a good portion of our morning just moving boxes around so there is room to walk. Being in Vikram Arcade means we see the same faces every day, from the commuters rushing to catch their trains to the other shopkeepers opening up. It is a bit of a squeeze when more than two people are inside at once, but we make it work. We have a small desk near the front where we keep the bill book and a calculator that has seen better days. The floor is made of old tiles that have been worn smooth over the years. We don't have a lot of time for sitting around because there is always a delivery arriving or someone looking for a specific item. It is a fast-paced environment but we like the energy of being so close to the tracks. We just focus on keeping the shelves full and the customers happy.
