My business is based in the Katghora Industrial Area, right near the Gauri Mandir. It’s a simple setup, really. I started out here a few years ago and just kept at it. Most people know the temple, so they use that to find me. I deal with different materials and supplies that the local industries need. The space is mostly a warehouse with a small desk in the front for me to sit at. It’s usually just me or maybe one other person helping out. I don't have a big staff or a fancy website. If someone needs something, they usually just call me or stop by. The yard can get a bit cluttered when I have a lot of stock coming in. Katghora is a quiet enough place most of the time, but the industrial side gets busy during the day. I spend a lot of my time checking orders and making sure the loading is done correctly. It’s a one-man show for the most part, which means I have to do everything from cleaning to accounting. I like the independence of it. I don't use any big words to describe what I do. I just sell things that people need and try to be fair about it. It’s a basic way of doing business, but it works for me and my family. Every evening I lock up the gates and go home.
