Navrang Society Store

Navrang Society Store is tucked away in Shop No 2/3 at Malani Niwas. It is right in Santacruz East, specifically in Burud Galli. Being opposite Kalina University means we see a lot of students walking past all day long. The shop itself is a bit of a tight squeeze once you get all the stock inside. We’ve got shelves lining every wall, packed with all sorts of things people need for their homes. It can get a bit hectic when the university lets out and the street fills up. We spend a lot of time just rearranging containers and making sure the prices are marked. Malani Niwas is an older building, so it has that lived-in feel which we quite like. The floor is a bit worn down from years of people coming in and out. Usually, there is a radio playing somewhere in the back to keep things from being too quiet during the slow hours in the afternoon. We aren't trying to be some big supermarket; it’s just a regular store where we know many of the faces who walk through the door. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road for a bit, and we have to hurry to get everything moved inside. It is just a normal daily routine for us here in Santacruz. We keep the doors open late most nights because that is when the neighborhood gets busy again.
