Balaji Enterprises

Balaji Enterprises is over at Shop 30 on Loha Mandi Road. If you know the area, you’ll know it’s right across from the SBI branch. That bank always has a line, so we get a lot of people looking our way while they wait. Loha Mandi is a tough street, lots of iron and heavy stuff moving around constantly. Our shop is just one of many in this row, but we’ve been here long enough that people recognize the sign. It’s a small space, and we have to stack things high to make everything fit. Sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle to find what someone is looking for right away, but we eventually get there. We don't have a website or any of those modern things. We just use a paper ledger and a pen to keep track of what comes in and what goes out. The road outside is usually torn up or being fixed, so it’s always a bit of a mess getting here. But that’s just how Loha Mandi is. We open up early because that’s when the trucks start arriving. It’s hard work and the air is always a bit metallic smelling. We don't really bother with fancy displays. We just put the goods out where people can see them and talk to whoever walks through the door. It’s a basic way to run a business.
