Parle Singh Vegetable Supplier

We run Parle Singh Vegetable Supplier out of shops 23, 24, and 25. It’s a decent-sized space since we took over three units in a row to fit everything. You can find us over by Vallabhbhai R road, which is quite close to the Vile Parle West area, though we also have things going on near the Bommasandra Industrial Area on Hosur Main Road. It’s a bit of a mix with how we operate in these different spots, but the locals know where to find us. Every morning starts very early, usually around four or five, when the trucks come in from the farms. We spend hours sorting through crates of greens, potatoes, and whatever else is in season. It is messy work and our hands are always dirty. The shops are basically just open spaces with tiled floors so we can wash everything down easily at the end of the shift. We aren't doing anything fancy like organic branding or pretty packaging. We just sell vegetables to local hotels and some of the smaller shops in the neighborhood. Some days the heat makes things wilt fast, so we have to move quickly. My cousin helps with the deliveries on his scooter. It’s a loud place, especially when the bargaining starts. We’ve been at this for a long time and the routine stays the same. We just want to make sure the produce is fresh and the weight is right for everyone.
