Bharath Steel Wire

Down here on Narayanappa Naicken Street in Mannady, things get pretty noisy and crowded, but that’s how it is for a steel wire business. Bharath Steel Wire has been sitting at number 5 for quite some time. We deal with all sorts of steel wire and it’s heavy work. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just stacks of wire and the smell of metal. Most of our days are spent loading and unloading stuff or talking to regulars who need materials for their projects. Mannady is a tight area, so getting trucks in and out is always a bit of a puzzle every morning. We don't have a big corporate team, just a few of us who know the inventory well. If someone needs a specific gauge of wire, we usually know exactly where it’s buried in the back. Sometimes the accounts take longer than they should because we’re busy chatting with a customer about the local news. We don't use fancy computers for everything, a lot is still written down. It works for us. We've stayed in this same spot because everyone knows where to find us. It’s hot in the summer and the dust gets everywhere, but we don't mind much. It’s honest work. We just keep our heads down and supply what’s needed to the people who come through our doors. We are just a local steel business trying to get the job done right.
