Prachi Traders

You can find Prachi Traders over at Plot No. 101-102 on the 2nd Lane in Darukhana. Being in the Reay Road area of Byculla means we are right in the middle of all that old iron and ship-breaking history. The air always has a bit of a metallic tang to it, and the ground is permanently stained from years of heavy work. Our yard is not much to look at, just a lot of steel and a small cabin where we handle the paperwork. The lanes around here are narrow and can get quite clogged with trailers, so things move at their own pace. We have been here long enough to know all the local loaders and the guys who run the other shops nearby. It is a gritty part of the city, but it is where the real work happens. We do not have fancy uniforms or a polished showroom. Most of the time, we are just wearing old clothes that we do not mind getting greasy. The fans in the office struggle against the Mumbai humidity, but we are used to it by now. We spend our days counting inventory and making sure everything is where it should be. It is honest, heavy work that keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. When the day ends, we lock the gates and head to the station like everyone else.
