Jyoti Industrial Corporation

It is quite a walk up to the first floor here at Plot No. 35 on Kika Street. If you’ve ever been to Gulalwadi, you know how narrow the lanes are and how many people are always rushing around. We have been here for a good long while now. Jyoti Industrial Corporation is tucked away in this old building near Charni Road Railway Station. Most of our day is spent handling orders and talking to people who come in from the market. It’s not one of those modern offices you see in the newspapers. It’s more of a practical space with a lot of papers and samples lying around. The noise from the street below never really stops, but after a few years, you just stop hearing it. We usually get in around ten in the morning after fighting the crowd at the station. It’s a tight squeeze in the shop sometimes when we have a lot of stock coming in. We don’t really do much besides focus on the work we have for the day. My father always said that being in the heart of the city is better than being somewhere quiet where no one can find you. It’s a bit messy and the walls could probably use some new paint, but it works for us. We just keep our heads down and get the job done for whoever walks through that door. It's just simple work in a busy part of the city.
