Sakshi Dyes & Chemicals

Sakshi Dyes & Chemicals is located at No. 119 in Tilak Bazar. If you know the area, you know how packed it gets. There are people and carts everywhere, and the noise is constant. Our shop is right in the middle of it all. We have been here at this spot for years. The walls are stained with different colors from the dyes we handle, which I guess is expected. It’s a narrow place, so we have to stack things high up to the ceiling. Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to find exactly what a customer wants right away, but we know where everything is hidden. We don't use any fancy computer systems for the stock; it’s mostly just written down in a big ledger. My uncle started this, and we just keep it going. It’s a lot of manual work, weighing out powders and packing them into bags. The air always has a bit of a colorful dust in it. We open early because the market starts early, and we usually close up when the sun goes down. It’s a busy, messy, and loud way to make a living, but it’s what we know. We don't try to be anything other than a local shop in the bazaar. We deal with the same regulars mostly. It's just a job that we do every day without complaining much, keeping the shop running.
