Vishnu Hardware

You can find Vishnu Hardware right in the Aurangabad Market at Dhasla Chowk, along the Old GT Road. This area is always packed with people and vehicles. Our shop is filled from floor to ceiling with all sorts of tools, nuts, bolts, and plumbing supplies. It is a bit of a squeeze to walk through the aisles because we try to stock as much as possible for the neighborhood. We have been in this market for a very long time. My father started this and now we just keep it going. It is a family thing. We don't have a computer system to track inventory; we mostly just know where everything is by memory. If someone asks for a specific size of screw, we usually know exactly which box it’s in. It’s a dusty place and there is always something leaning against the counter. We talk to the customers about their repairs and what they are building. It’s not just about selling stuff; it’s about helping people find what they need for their homes. The noise from the Old GT Road is constant, with horns honking and engines revving. We are used to shouting over the noise to talk to each other. Sometimes the shop gets so crowded that people have to wait outside on the sidewalk. We just handle one person at a time and try to get them what they need. It's good work.
