Omkar Foam Furnishing

Omkar Foam Furnishing is right there on Kalewadi Main Road, just across from the Avinash Mangal Karyala. It’s a busy spot with cars going by all the time, and we spend a lot of our day moving big blocks of foam around the shop floor. It’s a bit of a workout, honestly. When someone comes in looking for something specific, we usually have to pull out a few different types to show them how firm or soft things are. There is always a lot of measuring going on, and sometimes the tape measure seems to have a mind of its own. We have stacks of mattresses and cushions taking up most of the space, so navigating the shop requires a bit of a squeeze. The dust from the foam gets on everything, so we are constantly wiping down the counters and the display pieces. It gets hot in the afternoons, but we keep the doors open to get whatever breeze comes from the street. People stop in because they saw the sign while heading to a wedding at the hall across the road. We do a lot of work with covers and stitching too, which means the sewing machine is often humming in the back corner. It’s not a fancy place, just a regular shop where we deal with foam and furnishing stuff every single day. We’ve been at this for a while and the routine stays pretty much the same.
