Iqra Fruit & Vegetable Hindustan Foods Private Limited

Our place is often known as the Banana Shop to the locals, tucked away at 2/5 3/5 in the MCGB area. We are located right on Hala Pool Road, specifically near the Gangaram Makadwala Chawl in Kurla. If you know Kurla at all, you know exactly how busy and crowded it gets every single day. Iqra Fruit & Vegetable Hindustan Foods Private Limited is quite a long name for such a humble, practical spot. We are surrounded by the daily hustle and bustle of the chawl. There’s always someone moving something, or a cart going by our door. We start very early in the morning because that’s when the best stuff arrives from the markets. The space is a bit tight, as you’d expect in this part of town, but we’ve learned how to stack the crates high to make the most of it. It’s loud, it’s often dusty, and things are always moving. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning or nice chairs. We just have our shop space and the road right outside. Most of our day is spent checking the quality of the fruits and vegetables coming in to make sure they are okay. Hala Pool Road is a main vein for this area, so we see a lot of life passing by. It’s a hard-working neighborhood, and we fit right in. We’ve been here long enough that the noise doesn't even bother us anymore. We just focus on the produce and getting through the daily chores. It’s just regular life here in Kurla for us.
