Maharashtra Hast Kala Udyog

Maharashtra Hast Kala Udyog is located at 15/3, right opposite the Mercury Imarat Bus Stop on 4th Main Road in Kandivali East. Being near the bus stop means there is a constant stream of people passing by our windows. We see the same commuters every morning and evening. The shop is filled with various items we’ve gathered or worked on over the months. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but we know where everything is. There is a specific smell of wood and fabric that stays in the air. We don’t have a sales team. It’s usually just me or one of the other guys sitting behind the counter. We spend time cleaning the stock and rearranging things when we get bored. Kandivali East is a busy suburb, and our little corner on 4th Main Road feels like a small world of its own. The Mercury Imarat is a good landmark, otherwise people might miss our entrance. We don’t put up big posters or try to lure people in with gimmicks. If someone is interested in what we have, they just walk in and ask. We have a small back room where we keep the extra stock and an old kettle for making tea. It’s a slow-paced way to run a business, but it suits our style. We like the community feel of this particular street. We usually close up when the streetlights come on and the buses stop running so frequently.
