Star India Gifts

Our location is at 4 Rubber Compound, which is just behind the Kerla Hotel in Mahim. It’s an interesting spot because it’s tucked away in an industrial area. You have to walk past the hotel and follow the lane to find us. It’s not the kind of place you just stumble upon unless you’re specifically looking for it. The building is a bit old, and the stairs are narrow, but we’ve made the space work for us. We have boxes of all sorts of gift items stacked up. Because we are in a compound, there’s always some kind of noise from the nearby workshops, like metal banging or engines running. It’s a busy atmosphere. We get a lot of people who want to buy things in larger quantities, but we sell to individuals too. The Kerla Hotel nearby is where we usually go to grab a quick snack or a tea when things get slow in the afternoon. We don’t have a lot of space for a fancy showroom, so we just use shelves that go all the way to the ceiling. You might need a ladder to see some of the stuff we have at the top. It gets a bit dusty with all the activity in the compound, so we’re always cleaning. We just focus on keeping the stock moving and making sure we have enough variety for whatever holiday is coming up next. It’s a practical, no-nonsense place to work every day.
