Acme Glaze

I’ve been at Shop No. 5 in the Chandu Studio Compound for a long time now. People around Kalina Market know us mostly because we’re right there near the busy part of Santacruz East. Acme Glaze isn't a big fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we handle glass work and related stuff every single day. The traffic outside can get pretty loud, but inside we just keep busy with the cutters and the frames. Most mornings start with a cup of tea from the stall nearby and then we get to checking the orders that came in. It's dusty work sometimes, you know? Dealing with glass means you have to be careful, and we’ve had our share of small cuts over the years. We aren't trying to change the world or anything; we just want to get the measurements right so the windows fit like they should. If you walk past the compound, you’ll see our sign. It’s a bit faded from the sun, but it’s still there. The neighbors are mostly other small shops, and we all kind of look out for each other. Sometimes the rain gets into the shop during monsoon, so we have to move everything back from the door. It’s just a normal business in a normal part of Mumbai. We don't have a big marketing team. It is just us doing the work day in and day out at Kalina.
