Padmawati Chemist

Padmawati Chemist is located in Mira Apartment, right on Karjat Road. We are situated at Karjat Chowk, which is a pretty central spot in this part of Raigad. If you’re coming through Karjat, you probably pass by this area quite often. Being a chemist in a place like this means you get to know almost everyone in the neighborhood. People stop by for their monthly medicines or just to pick up a band-aid. The shop is a typical medical store, with rows of shelves filled with white boxes and bottles. We spend a lot of time checking expiry dates and making sure the fridge for the vaccines is running right. Karjat has its own pace, a bit slower than Mumbai, but the chowk still gets its fair share of traffic and noise throughout the day. We have been here for a long time now, and the apartment building is quite well-known around here. It’s just us and the medicine. We don't have any fancy marketing; we just rely on the fact that people know where we are when they need something for their health. Sometimes we chat with the customers about the weather or local news while we get their prescriptions ready. It’s a straightforward life. We keep our stock as full as possible so nobody has to go elsewhere. It’s just a regular shop doing its part in the community. You can find us easily right at the main crossing.
