Giriraj Medical

We are located at Shop No 2 on Station Road in Ghatkopar East, right in the heart of Mumbai. If you know the area, you probably know we are directly opposite Rajawadi Hospital. Being near a big hospital and the station means the street is never actually quiet. There is a constant sound of horns and people rushing to catch their trains. Our shop is quite small, like most places in this part of Mumbai, so we have to use every inch of shelf space we have. We spend most of our day reaching for things on high shelves and talking to customers over the counter. It can get very hot and humid in the summer, so we keep the fans going at full speed. Sometimes we have to run out to the back to find something a customer asked for. We’ve been here for years and have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit, but the hustle on Station Road stays the same. Most of us who work here live nearby, so we know the local shortcuts and where to get the best snacks during our breaks. We don’t do anything fancy with the decor; it’s just shelves and a counter. We just try to be quick and get people what they need so they can go about their day. It's a busy life but we are used to the pace of Ghatkopar. We’ve been part of this street for a long time.
