Ratan Stainless Steel

Our shop is tucked away at 192-B in the C.P. Tank area. If you know Mumbai, you know how packed these streets get. It is all about metal and hardware around here. We have been dealing in stainless steel for a long time, mostly just sheets and pipes and whatever else people need for their projects. The space is tight, and we have stacks of steel piled up almost to the ceiling. It can be hard to move around when a big delivery comes in. We don't have a website or a fancy catalog to show. Usually, people just come in with their measurements on a piece of paper, and we see what we have in stock. The noise of the street is constant, and sometimes we have to shout just to hear each other over the trucks passing by. It’s a bit dusty, and the light isn't great, but we know where every single piece is kept. We keep the accounts in big ledgers and prefer talking to people face to face. It’s much easier that way. Sometimes we run out of a certain grade of steel and have to wait for the next truck, which can be annoying. But that is part of the trade in this part of town. We are just a small group of people doing our bit in the metal market. We have been here so long that the cracks in the walls feel like part of the furniture.
