Abdullabhai Abdulkader

The Valiulla Commercial Complex on Nagdevi Street is where you will find us. Our name is Abdullabhai Abdulkader. It’s a mouthful for some, but it’s been our name for a long time. Nagdevi Street is famous for being busy and full of hardware shops, and we are right in the middle of it. Our space in the complex is usually packed with stuff. We don’t have a lot of room for walking around once we get a shipment in. It’s a lot of work staying on top of everything that happens on this street. There’s a lot of noise and people moving about all day long. We start early in the morning and usually don't finish until late. It’s just the two of us mostly, with some help now and then. We don't have any big corporate goals. We just want to make sure the work is finished by the end of the day. Sometimes we forget to answer the phone because we are busy in the back, but we eventually get to it. Being in a place like Valiulla Commercial Complex means you meet all sorts of people. We’ve been here so long that we don't really think about the chaos outside anymore. It’s just home for Abdullabhai Abdulkader. We keep our records in big books and try to keep things as simple as possible. It’s a practical way to run a business on Nagdevi Street.
