Nilesh Traders

Nilesh Traders is located at 45 Dadisheth Agiary Lane. It’s right across from G T High School in Kalbadevi, which is always full of kids and parents during the day. We’ve been here in this lane for quite some time. The shop isn't very large, but we pack it full of whatever we are trading that week. Kalbadevi is a crowded place, so there's always something happening right outside the door. We don't have a big corporate team or anything like that. It is just a few of us making sure the orders are right and the customers are okay. Most people who come in are regulars from the neighborhood or people who have been dealing with us for years. We try to keep things simple. If someone needs something, we see if we have it. If not, we tell them. There is no point in pretending we are bigger than we are. The Agiary Lane is quite narrow, so sometimes getting goods in and out is a real headache with the carts and bikes everywhere. But that’s just how Kalbadevi works. We drink tea, talk to the other shopkeepers, and wait for the next person to walk in. It’s a bit dusty and the fan makes a noise, but it’s home for the business. We don't use fancy computers for everything yet. It’s just a basic way of doing business in a very busy part of Mumbai. We hope it stays like this for a while.
