Gaylani Trading Co.

You can find us in the Thakkar Building, at Shop No. 4. We are right opposite the DCB Bank and the Hasnabad area on Dr. Mascarenhas Road. Mazgaon is an old part of the city, so the streets are narrow and it always feels a bit crowded with people and scooters. Our shop is quite small, but we use every inch of the walls and floor to show the different materials we trade in. I’ve been sitting at this same desk for years, watching the traffic go by outside the door. It’s a bit dark inside the shop because of the old building structure, but we have some good lights to show the colors of the samples. People often get lost looking for us because of all the small shops in this area, but if you find the bank, we are just across the way. It’s a noisy neighborhood with people shouting and horns honking all day long. We deal with a lot of local contractors who have been coming to us for a long time. They just drop by for a chat and to see what new stock we’ve got in the back. We don't do anything special for marketing. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for the regulars to show up. It’s a very local way of doing business, with no pressure and no fancy talk. We just focus on getting the right stone to the right people at the right time.
