Akshay Jain Sweet Mart

Akshay Jain Sweet Mart is located at Shop No 7 in the Jain Chawl. We are right on Dr S S R road in Parel. Living and working in a chawl means you are never really alone. There is always a neighbor popping their head in or someone shouting across the hallway. It is a very old-school way of doing things, and we have kept it that way. The shop is not very large, and it gets quite warm in the afternoons, especially with the ovens going. We do not have fancy display cases like the big shops in the malls. Everything here is practical. We have been in Parel for a long time, and we have seen the neighborhood change so much. Big towers are going up everywhere, but Jain Chawl stays pretty much the same. We like the history of this place. The floor is a bit uneven in places, and the shutters can be a bit moody when we try to close up at night. We do not spend money on advertising or anything like that. People just know where we are because we have been here for years. It is a lot of hard work, standing on your feet all day and dealing with the heat, but it is what we do. We just want to keep the shop running like it always has. It is a simple life on Dr S S R road, and we are okay with that.
