Akshar Steel Corporation

If you drive along the service road near the Adgaon Naka weigh bridge in Panchavati, you’ll see Akshar Steel Corporation. We are right there where the big trucks are always stopping to check their loads. It’s a dusty, busy part of town, and our yard is usually full of various steel products. We’ve got everything from heavy beams to smaller rods stacked up. The sound of metal clanging is the background noise of our lives here. It’s a very practical operation. We don’t have a nice lobby with air conditioning; our office is just a small room where we keep the records and handle the billing. Most of our time is spent outside in the yard, making sure the right materials are loaded onto the right trucks. The sun can be pretty brutal out here, but we’re used to it. We deal with builders and contractors who just want their steel on time and at the right weight. We don't spend money on advertising because people usually find us through word of mouth or by seeing us as they drive past the weigh bridge. It’s a tough business that requires a lot of physical labor and careful counting. We just show up every day, move the steel around, and try to keep things organized in a place that’s naturally a bit messy. It is a loud environment but we enjoy the work we do here.
