Wood Pakkers

Wood Pakkers is based out of Shop No 3 in the Abdul Sattar Chawl. We’re on Sahar Road in Andheri East. It’s a busy spot, right opposite Vijaynagar Society. If you know Andheri, you know Sahar Road is always moving with rickshaws and delivery trucks. The shop isn't very big at all. It’s a chawl-style setup, so it’s right on the ground level. We spend a lot of time with the door open because it gets a bit warm inside and we need the light. There’s always sawdust or something around because of the nature of what we do. It’s an honest day's work. We’ve got the neighbors popping in for a chat sometimes, usually asking about one thing or another. Vijaynagar Society is right across the street, so we see the residents going for their morning walks or coming back from work in the evenings. It’s a very local atmosphere. We don't have a fancy website or a big sales team. It’s just us in the shop. Sometimes we’re out on a job, and sometimes we’re here at the bench working on something. Sahar Road can be a bit much with the noise and the dust, but we’ve been here long enough that we don't notice it much. The 400069 area is where we’ve always been. We like the grit of it. It’s a workshop where things actually get made by hand. We just open up, do the work, and lock up at night when everything finally starts to quiet down a little.
