Amrut Sagar

Our little shop is right in the middle of everything in Koparkhairane. We are Shop No. 1 at Cristal City, Plot 35. It’s right across from the Sector-15 Bhaji Market. If you know the market, you know us. It gets very loud and crowded around here, especially in the mornings when the trucks are unloading vegetables. We open up early to get things ready before the rush. It’s a good spot because people are always passing by on their way to buy groceries. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years. Sector-18 has grown up so much. Inside the shop, we keep things simple. We have our regulars who stop by just to say hello or ask about the weather before buying what they need for the day. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket. We are just Amrut Sagar. Sometimes the floor gets a bit muddy when it rains, but we just mop it up and keep going. We handle the daily tasks ourselves. Whether it's stocking shelves or talking to the delivery guys, there’s always something to do to keep things moving. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just have the shop and our customers. It’s a local life and we’re used to it. The sun hits the front of the shop in the afternoon, so we usually pull the shutter down halfway to keep the heat out. It’s just a normal shop in a busy part of Navi Mumbai.
