Dhananjay Metal (India)

You can find us at the Laxmi Building, Shop Number 3. We are situated on Sant Sena Maharaj Marg in 2nd Kumbharwada. The area is quite packed with other shops doing similar things. It’s a very old part of the city and the roads are narrow. We have a lot of metal stock packed into a relatively small space. Sometimes it feels like we are playing a game of Tetris just to get to a specific pile of sheets. The shop is dusty and we have metal scraps in the corners. We don't use any high-tech systems for our inventory; mostly it's just written down in ledgers or kept in our heads. We’ve been in this building for quite some time now. Dealing with metal in Kumbharwada means you get used to the heat and the constant clanging of iron. We don’t put on any airs about being a big international firm. We are just a local metal shop handling orders for whoever walks in. The neighbors are all in the same boat, so we help each other out with loading when needed. It’s a tight-knit community here. Our day starts early and usually ends when the light goes. We just focus on getting the weights right and making sure the metal is the grade it’s supposed to be. There isn't much more to it than that. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know how to do.
