Bearing & Bush Co

We are up on the third floor of a building in Masjid Bunder West. The address is just 3, and it’s right in the middle of all the wholesale action. If you know this part of Mumbai, you know how tight the lanes are and how much stuff is being moved on carts every single minute. Our space is filled with bearings and bushes of all sizes. It’s dusty work and there is always the smell of metal and grease in the air. We don’t have a big storefront with glass windows. It’s more of a practical space where we keep our stock and talk to the mechanics and traders who come up the stairs. The stairs are a bit steep, so it’s a workout every time we have to go down to meet a delivery truck. We spend a lot of time checking part numbers and making sure the inventory is right. It’s easy to lose track of things when you have so many small components. Sometimes it gets really hot in the afternoons, but we just keep the fans going and carry on. People come to us because they know we’ve been in this spot for years. We don’t do any big marketing. Most of our business comes from people who have been told about us by someone else. It’s just how things work in Masjid Bunder. No fancy talk, just the parts people are looking for every day. We usually open up early to catch the morning trucks.
