Ashapura Enterprises

We are right here at Chowk No 10 in Mandvi. Being so close to Lakda Bazaar means it is always a bit noisy outside with trucks and people moving wood around all day. It’s been quite a few years since we set up Ashapura Enterprises in this part of Kutch. The weather gets really hot in the summer, but we just keep the fans going and get on with our work. Most days are about managing the inventory and making sure things are where they need to be. We don't have a big fancy office or anything like that. It is just a practical space where we handle our business. Sometimes people drop by just to ask for directions because the bazaar area is a bit of a maze if you aren't from here. We’ve seen the Lokhandwala Complex change quite a bit over the years. New shops come and go, but we’ve stayed put. Our staff usually brings lunch from home and we eat together when things quiet down around noon. It’s a simple routine. We deal with whatever comes through the door. There isn't much to say other than we are a local group trying to do a decent job in our corner of the district. The dust from the road can be a bit much, but you get used to it after a while. We just focus on the tasks we have for the day and try to finish up before it gets too dark.
