Mahalaxmi Electric Hardware & Paints

We have our shop, Mahalaxmi Electric Hardware & Paints, over in Chembur. It’s at Number 6, near Somayia College. It’s a handy location for the students and the people living around there. We stock a lot of different things, from light bulbs and wires to different cans of paint. The shelves are usually pretty full, and sometimes it looks a bit crowded, but we know where everything is kept. If someone needs a specific tool or a certain shade of paint, we go and find it in the back. It’s a typical hardware store where there is always a bit of dust and the smell of metal or thinners. We spend most of the day helping people find what they need for their home repairs. Sometimes it is just a single screw or a washer, other times it is a big order for a renovation. We have been here for a good while now. The shop is small but we try to cram in as much useful stuff as possible. It is just a few of us working here. We don't have a website or anything like that, we just open the shutters in the morning and wait for customers. It is honest work and we like being part of the Chembur community. Most of our day is spent unloading boxes or mixing paint for someone.
