New Maha Dhan Laxmi Enterprise

You can find us in Ward No.- 5, over in the Danghuria part of Simhat. It’s a small town in the Nadia district, and things are pretty quiet here most of the time. We set up this enterprise to provide various goods to the local community. We carry a mix of items, whatever seems to be in demand at the time. The shop is small and we use every bit of space we have, even the porch area sometimes. We aren't some big city company with a fancy name; we just wanted a way to make a living and help the neighborhood. My brother and I run the place. We do all the accounts by hand in a ledger and keep track of who owes what. It’s an old-fashioned way of doing things, but it works for us. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to use lanterns, but that’s just how it is in this part of the country. We know everyone’s name and their kids’ names too. People stop by not just to buy things, but to have a quick chat about the weather or the crops. We don’t have a marketing plan or anything like that. We just open the shutters every morning and see who comes by. It’s a modest life, but we are satisfied with what we’ve built here. It feels good to be part of a small place like Simhat.
