Manishkumar & Zariwala Mumbai

We are located over at Badrikeshwan Housing Society, right in Shop 5/82 on N. S. Road. If you know Mumbai, you know how busy Marine Drive Road gets, especially when the weather is nice. My family and I have been working out of this spot for a while now. It’s not a huge place, just a regular shop where we keep our things organized the way we like. Most days start with opening up the shutters and seeing the traffic already moving along the coast. It’s noisy, but it’s home for the business. We spend a lot of time just managing the inventory and talking to people who drop by. Sometimes the tea guy from around the corner brings us a few cups while we work. The lift in the society acts up sometimes, or the monsoon rain makes it a bit hard to get things delivered on time, but that is just how it is here. We don't have a fancy office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just us, some wooden desks, and the zari work we handle every day. People usually find us by looking for the society gate near the main crossing. It can be a bit tricky with the road construction that happens every now and then. We mostly focus on getting the work done and making sure everything is packed into boxes before the day ends. When the sun goes down, we lock up and walk a bit by the water before heading home.
