Ann Naafi Traders

Ann Naafi Traders is located right in Rehmania Manzil. You can find us easily because we are directly opposite the HP Petrol Pump on the main Sankeshwar Road. It’s a good spot in Kolapur, though the traffic can be a bit much during the lunch hour. Our shop isn't very large, but we make use of every inch of space we have. Most of the time, the floor is covered with stock waiting to be sorted. We deal with various goods throughout the week. The stairs in the building are a bit narrow, so moving heavy items takes some effort from the guys. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep things moving. It isn't a quiet place by any means. Between the trucks outside and the noise of the market, it’s always lively. We started out with just a couple of people and now we have a few more helping with deliveries and inventory. We don't use any fancy computer systems for everything; we still like our paper notebooks and pens for tracking what comes in. It feels more reliable that way. The tea stall next door is where we spend most of our breaks. We know most of the people on this stretch of Sankeshwar Road by name now. It’s just a regular trading business, nothing too complicated. We focus on getting the work finished so we can go home to our families at the end of the day. It gets cold in the mornings during winter.
