Fulchand Chunilal Gandhi & Company

We are located at 213 Relief Road in Raviwar Peth. That is a very old and crowded part of the city, and our shop has been here through a lot of changes. The name on the board outside is quite long, but everyone around here just knows where we are. We have piles of goods stacked almost to the ceiling, and sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in a little bit. There is a specific smell to this place, a mix of old paper and the various items we have in stock. We use a lot of old wooden ladders to reach the things on the top shelves. The floor is made of smooth stone that has worn down over the decades. We sit on small cushions on the floor or on low stools most of the day while we talk to people who come in. Raviwar Peth is never quiet, there are always handcarts and scooters rushing past the front door on Relief Road. We don't have any bright lights or modern displays; we just use the same old shelves we’ve always had. Dealing with the daily crowd can be tiring, but it’s just part of being in this market. We keep our ledgers updated by hand and make sure the bundles are tied up tight before they leave the shop. It’s a slow process sometimes, but we prefer doing things the traditional way without rushing through everything.
