Shri Siddhivinayak Pharma

Our shop is at the very corner of Chikhalwadi where BG Road meets the rest of the neighborhood. Shri Siddhivinayak Pharma is located in Shop No 1 of the Vatsal Complex, and being on the corner gives us a good view of everyone passing by. However, it also means we get a lot of dust from the road traffic, so we are constantly cleaning the counters. The noise at Chikhalwadi Corner is something you have to get used to, with all the bikes and buses zooming past. Our shop isn't the biggest, but we have filled every bit of wall space with shelves to keep our inventory organized. It takes a lot of daily effort to keep everything where it belongs. My staff and I usually start the morning by sorting through the deliveries that arrived late the previous night. BG Road is a major route, so we see a lot of people stopping by on their way home from work. The Vatsal Complex has several other small businesses, and we have become good friends with the other shop owners over time. We often share some tea in the afternoons when the rush dies down for a bit. We don't have fancy lights or big displays, just the shelves and the products. Sometimes the monsoon rain splashes in near the entrance, but we just deal with it and keep the shop running for the local people in Chikhalwadi.
