Balaji Agri

You can find us near the Navratna Mangal Karlaya on Manjri Road in Hadapsar. Balaji Agri is a small setup where we deal with agricultural supplies and stuff like that. We spend a lot of time talking to farmers and people who have small gardens. The shop is full of bags and tools, so it's a bit crowded inside. It's not a fancy place with air conditioning or nice chairs. We mostly just have a fan going and the door open so people can come in easily. We started this because we know a bit about farming and wanted to stay involved in it. It’s dusty and we are often lifting heavy bags of seeds or fertilizer. We don't have a big corporate team, just a couple of us who know what we are talking about. People come to us because we are right here on Manjri Road and we don't try to overcomplicate things. We just sell what is needed for the season. Sometimes we run out of things when everyone wants the same thing at once. We try to keep the stock up as best as we can. It’s hard work and our hands are rarely clean, but that’s just how it is in this business. We’ve been in Hadapsar for a while and we plan to stay for much longer. It’s a simple life and a simple business, and we just keep going day by day.
