Mittal Paints & Hardware Store

You can find us at 8 Ballabhgarh Hospital Road. Being on Hospital Road means there is always something going on outside, with plenty of people and vehicles passing by Mittal Paints & Hardware Store all day long. Our shop is one of those places where the inventory spills out onto the sidewalk a little bit during the day. We have stacks of pipes and buckets near the entrance to save space inside. The interior is packed from floor to ceiling with shelves holding every kind of hardware tool or paint shade you might need. It’s a bit dark in the back, so we have to use flashlights sometimes to find the smaller items. We don't have a big corporate structure. It’s mostly just us and a couple of helpers who know the layout. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the regulars who stop by for a few screws or a liter of paint. The shop has a certain smell—a mix of metal and oil—that tells you exactly where you are. We don't use any fancy sales talk or try to push things on people. If they need it, they buy it, and we help them carry it to their vehicle if it’s heavy. It’s a practical way to run a business. We’ve been at this address for quite some time now and we’re just a staple of the local street. Every day brings a new challenge but we handle it.
