Vikas Industrial Corporation

The shop is at 4149-A in Gali Shahtra, which is part of the Ajmeri Gate area. If you know this part of the city, you know how tight the streets can be. It is always busy with people moving goods and carts rattling over the pavement. Vikas Industrial Corporation has been operating from this little corner for a long time. It’s not easy to find if you aren't looking closely, but once you know the way through the Gali, it’s fine. We have a lot of old shelves and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it feels like home to us. The noise from the main road doesn't really reach back here as much, which is a relief during the summer months. Most of the guys working here have been around for years. We know the other shopkeepers and we help each other out when someone needs a hand moving something heavy. We don't have a big lobby or a receptionist. If you walk in, you’ll probably just see us working at the back or checking the inventory. It’s a practical space. Sometimes it’s a bit dusty because of all the industrial stuff, but that’s just part of the job. We don’t try to be something we aren't. We just show up, do what needs doing, and close up when the sun goes down. It’s a simple life here in the gate area.
