Shree Shankar Steel Traders

Our shop is at number 83 in New Loha Mandi, right on Gali No. 2. If you’ve ever been to the Mandi, you know it’s a tight squeeze with all the trucks and the stacks of iron. We’ve been operating out of this lane for a long time. It’s a bit crowded, and there’s always someone shouting or a horn honking, but that’s just the life of a trader here. We keep our stock piled up as neatly as we can, though it’s a constant battle against the space we have. We don't have a fancy showroom. It's just the shop and the materials. Usually, you’ll find one of us sitting at the wooden desk near the front, probably on the phone or checking a ledger. We don't use any high-tech systems, just simple record-keeping that works for us. The tea guy comes around twice a day, and that’s usually when we take a short break. People come from all over to the Loha Mandi, and we’ve met all sorts of characters over the years. It’s a tough environment, dusty and heavy, but it’s what we know. We don't make big promises, we just tell people what we have in stock and what the price is today. It’s a simple way to run things. We’re just here in the middle of the noise, doing our daily business and keeping the count right.
