Rajdhan Metal

Rajdhan Metal is tucked away at 184/1, 7th Khetwadi Lane in the Vimal Building. If you've ever walked through the Khetwadi lanes, you know how packed things can get. It’s a maze of shops and small businesses. Our space in the Vimal Building is where we keep our metal stocks and handle the day-to-day paperwork. It's not a big, shiny place. It's just a functional room with metal shelves and a couple of desks. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to people who drop in from the street. The lane is usually full of carts and people moving goods. It can get pretty loud with all the shouting and the sound of metal being moved around. We’ve got a small crew here and some of us have been working in this area for a decade or more. We know how the local market works and who is looking for what kind of metal. Sometimes the monsoon makes it hard because the water pools in the lanes, but we just keep the shutters half-down and carry on with our tasks. It’s a simple operation. We don’t have fancy brochures or a big marketing team. We just deal in metal and try to keep our inventory straight. It’s a lot of manual counting and checking sizes. That is basically our whole world here on 7th Khetwadi Lane. Just a regular metal business in an old building.
