Shashika Traders

Shashika Traders is located at No. 21 in the Kiadb Complex, near Tvs Cross. We are in the Third Phase of the Peenya Industrial Area. If you’ve ever been to Peenya, you know it’s full of factories and warehouses. Our place is no different. It’s just a large room filled with metal shelves and heavy cardboard boxes. We sell all kinds of industrial supplies that the nearby units need for their machines. I spend a lot of time counting the inventory and making sure we haven't run out of things. The air in Peenya always smells a bit like oil and exhaust, and it gets quite hot in the afternoon when the sun hits the metal roof. We have a small desk near the entrance where we do the billing. It’s not a fancy office at all. We have an old ceiling fan that makes a bit of a rattling noise and doesn't really cool anything down. Most of our customers are regular guys from the surrounding factories who just walk over when they realize they're missing a part. We don't do much in the way of marketing. We just rely on being in the right place. My brother and I have been running this together for a few years now. We usually get tea from the stall at the corner every morning around ten. It’s a busy life, but we like the pace of the industrial area. We just focus on keeping the boxes ready and getting the orders loaded onto the trucks. It’s a very straightforward way to run a business without any fuss.
