Premji Ghelabhai & Co

Our business, Premji Ghelabhai & Co, has been a fixture at Pratap Chowk in Matunga East for many years. We are located at number 376, right where the local traffic picks up. It is an old building and we have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit since we first opened the doors. We deal with various goods and keep a lot of stock on hand for the local trade. It is not the kind of place with bright lights or fancy displays. Instead, we have shelves piled high and a lot of paperwork to get through every day. Most of our time is spent talking to regular customers and checking on orders. We do not really use social media or anything like that to get people in. Most folks know us because their parents or grandparents used to come here too. It is a bit dusty and cramped sometimes, but that is just the nature of a trading house in Matunga. We open up early and stay late until the work is finished. There are days when it is quiet and we just sit and drink tea, and other days when everyone seems to need something at once. We do not overcomplicate things here. We just buy what is needed and sell it at a fair price. That is how we have always done it at Pratap Chowk, and we do not see much reason to change how we operate after all this time.
