Goel Bearing & Sons

You can find us over at 2400/12 in the Ramnath Building on G.B. Road. If you know this part of town, you know it’s a total maze of shops and narrow lanes. Our family has been running Goel Bearing & Sons for a long time. It’s me and my sons mostly, handling the bearings and making sure the stock is where it should be. The building is old, and the stairs are a bit steep, but it has character. G.B. Road is always packed with trucks and carts, so getting deliveries in can be a real headache sometimes. We spend a lot of our time on the phone or just waiting for the next shipment to arrive. Bearings are small things, but they are important for so many machines. We have shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling, stuffed with boxes of all sizes. It gets pretty dusty in here, and we’re always wiping down the counters. We don’t have a website or anything like that. We just rely on the people who have been buying from us for decades. Sometimes a customer will come in with a broken part, and we’ll spend an hour looking for the right match. It’s slow work sometimes, but we don’t mind. We have a small kettle in the back for making tea. The afternoon sun hits the front window pretty hard, so we usually keep the shade down. We’re just a small family business trying to make a living among all the noise of the city.
