Steel Sales Corporation

We are located at Laxmi Niwas on 2nd Panjarpole Lane. This is one of those old Mumbai lanes where everything is tucked away and the buildings have a lot of history. Our shop is primarily about steel sales, so we have various rods and sections stacked up. It’s a narrow space and we have to be very careful how we stack things so nothing falls over. The air is often thick with the smell of metal and the street outside is always crowded with handcarts and people. We don’t have a corporate office with air conditioning. We have a small desk tucked in the corner where we keep the books and take orders. It gets quite hot in the summer, but we just keep the fans going. We aren't interested in being some high-profile company. We are just a local spot where people can buy the steel they need for construction or small jobs. The lane is so tight that big trucks can’t even come in, so everything has to be moved by hand or on smaller carts. It’s a lot of physical labor. We’ve known the people in this building for years. We just show up every morning, pull up the shutters, and see what the day brings. There’s no fancy mission statement here. We just sell steel and try to keep our accounts straight. It’s a simple business in a busy part of town.
