Kshatriya Soda Water

Kshatriya Soda Water is located on the ground floor of the Rainbow Complex in Chandwad. It’s a pretty good location for us because the complex has a lot of other shops like mobile stores and pharmacies, so there are always people walking around nearby. We’ve been in this specific unit for a couple of years now. It’s not a very big shop, but we’ve managed to organize it so we can fit all our soda-making gear in the back and still have a little room for people to stand in the front. We spend most of our time every day dealing with the carbonation levels and making sure the water we use is filtered just right. It’s a lot of manual work, moving heavy crates in and out and making sure the floor doesn't get too slippery from the washing. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the main entrance to the Rainbow Complex, which causes a bit of a problem with the other owners, but we usually figure it out after some talking. We don't do any big advertising or have a polished corporate image. We are just a local soda shop in Chandwad. Most of the people around here know who we are just by seeing us around. We open up early in the morning and don't usually close the shutters until the sun is well down. It’s a lot of hours on our feet, but seeing the same neighbors come back every day makes the work feel okay. It's just a simple life here.
