Nandini Steel

Nandini Steel is located at No. 47 on the first floor of Navnidhi Bhavan, right in 5th Kumbharwada. If you’ve ever walked through the lanes of Kumbharwada, you know how narrow and crowded it is with all the metal shops and small businesses. Our office is up a flight of stairs that are a bit steep and narrow. Inside, it’s mostly just desks piled high with ledgers and samples of steel stacked against the walls. It’s not a place for a quiet meeting; you can always hear the sound of hammers and metal being moved in the shops downstairs. We spend our days talking to suppliers and customers, mostly over the phone or with people who just walk in off the street. The building is old and shows its age, but it’s sturdy. We don’t have any fancy posters or corporate mission statements on the walls. It’s just us, some fans to keep the air moving, and a lot of talk about steel prices and delivery dates. Navnidhi Bhavan has a lot of history and we are just one part of it. It gets really crowded during the middle of the day, and sometimes getting a delivery out through the small lanes is a real challenge for the drivers. We just take it one day at a time, making sure the paperwork is right and the steel is where it needs to be. It’s just a regular local business in a very busy part of the city.
