Ajay Kumar

This is Ajay Kumar’s place of business in Nutan Dih. We are situated right near the primary school here in the Jag Jeevan Nagar area of Dhanbad district. It’s a local operation, very much tied to the neighborhood. Since we are near the school, you can always hear the kids playing during the day. It’s not your typical corporate environment. We work out of a small building that’s been part of the area for a long time. Most of our neighbors are families and other small shops. We do a bit of everything here, mostly helping out with local supplies and whatever the community needs. It’s a one-man show sometimes, or maybe a couple of us helping out. We don’t have fancy signs or a big reception area. If you want to talk, you just come to the door and knock. Dhanbad is a tough place but people here are hardworking. We try to reflect that in how we run things. There is no point in using big words or pretending to be something we aren't. We just provide what we can and try to be fair with the prices. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when school lets out. We are just regular people doing our best to make a living in Nutan Dih. We've been around a while and hope to stay for a lot longer to serve the local folks.
