Orissa Steel Corporation

Our shop, Orissa Steel Corporation, is located right on Cuttak Road in Pushpa Market. We are directly across from the Budheswari U P School. You can usually hear the kids playing during their lunch break. It’s a loud area with all the traffic, but we’ve gotten used to it. We deal with steel all day long. Loading and unloading trucks is a big part of what happens here. The space is filled with rods, sheets, and whatever else comes in that week. It’s not a fancy setup. We have a small desk where we do the paperwork and the rest is just storage and workspace. My cousin started helping out last year because it was getting to be too much for just two people. We open up early because the trucks like to beat the morning rush. Sometimes the rain makes it a bit messy around the market entrance. People know us as the place near the school. We don’t do any big advertising. Word of mouth usually brings people in. If someone needs a bit of steel for a small build or a bigger project, they just drop by. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. The market is always crowded, so parking can be a bit of a headache. We just try to get the orders right and keep things moving.
