Rajeshwari Pipe Traders

You can find Rajeshwari Pipe Traders at No. 68 on West Perumal Maistry Street. This street is known for being a bit of a hub for this kind of trade, so there are always people looking for parts and pieces. We deal mostly in pipes and all the fittings that go with them. It’s a narrow shop, and we have pipes of all different sizes stacked up to the ceiling in some spots. You have to be careful walking through the aisles so you don't trip over a stray piece of PVC. The air has that specific smell of plastic and metal, which we don't even notice anymore after being here so long. We get a lot of local plumbers coming in who know exactly what they want, so we spend our time pulling stock from the racks. It’s a lot of climbing and reaching. The street outside is usually crowded with carts and delivery vehicles, so getting things in and out can be a bit of a puzzle every single day. We don't have a fancy computer system for everything; we mostly know where things are by memory. It’s just a hardworking shop in an old part of town. We stay open late most days just to make sure the local guys can get what they need for their morning jobs.
