Siddhivinayak Industries

We have been here at Nagdevi Street for quite a while now. If you know Mumbai, you know how crowded this street gets every single morning. Our space is tucked away in Esmail Manzil, specifically in Cabin number 11 on the mezzanine floor. It is not a very big space, but it is where everything happens for Siddhivinayak Industries. Most days, the hallway is narrow and we have to move boxes around just to sit down properly. We started out with just a few items and a lot of hopes. It gets noisy outside with the handcarts and the shouting of the loaders, but that is just how business is done here. Some people find it hard to locate the mezzanine floor because the stairs are a bit steep and tucked in the corner. We have seen the neighbors change over the years, but we stayed right here. It is a humble setup, really. We spend most of our time answering phones and checking the inventory we have squeezed into the cabinets. Sometimes the electricity flickers, but we just keep going. It is a family-run kind of feeling even though we deal with industrial things. There is no fancy lobby or air conditioning that works all the time. Just us, some old desks, and the stock we manage. We like the grit of Nagdevi Street. It feels like the heart of the hardware trade and being in Esmail Manzil makes us feel part of that old history.
