Naik & Sons

Naik & Sons has its roots deep in Ghatkopar West, specifically in the Shivshakti Industrial Estate. It’s an old-school kind of place. My father and his brothers started this long ago, and we’ve just kept it going. The address has that strange number, 0.333333333333333, which always makes people ask questions, but we’re just another unit in the estate. The industrial estate is always full of the sound of machines and the smell of oil and metal. It’s not the prettiest place to work, but it’s where the real business happens. Our office is small and filled with old files and a couple of heavy wooden desks. We don't have a website or do any of that social media stuff. Most of our work comes from people who have known the Naik family for decades. We deal with various industrial parts and general supplies. It gets really hot in the summer because the building is old and the fans just move the warm air around. We take our lunch together and usually talk about local Ghatkopar news or how the train service is running that day. It’s a straightforward way to run a business. We show up, we do the work, and we go home. We’ve seen the Shivshakti Industrial Estate change over the years, but our little corner stays pretty much the same. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s what we know.
