Nashik is known for a lot of things, but Mohan Baba Nagar is just a quiet corner where people go about their business. That’s where you’ll find Iqra Herbal. We’ve been operating from here for a while, and the locals know us mostly by the smell of the stuff we work with. It’s a mix of different herbs and roots that can be quite strong if you aren't used to it. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a plain front with a door that squeaks a bit when the wind catches it. Inside, we have a lot of jars and bags stacked up on wooden shelves that my cousin built. We spend most of our mornings sorting through what came in the day before. It’s a lot of manual work, getting everything weighed and packed into smaller containers. We don't have a computer system that tracks every single leaf; we mostly rely on our notebooks and memory. The lighting is a bit dim in the back, so we do most of the packing near the front window where the sun comes in. People stop by to ask questions about this or that plant, and we tell them what we know. It isn’t a high-tech setup, but it works for us. We just try to keep things honest and make sure the quality is what it should be. The work is slow but it is steady.
