Manish Traders

Manish Traders is located over in Pimpri, near the Jawaharlal Nehru Road and Gaylord Chowk area. It’s a very busy part of town with a lot of commerce happening every minute. We mostly deal with wholesale trading, which means our space is usually packed with boxes and sacks of goods. I started this business because I wanted to be my own boss, even if it meant working twelve hours a day. We don't have a showroom with bright lights. It’s more like a warehouse where we manage orders for other local shops. My desk is usually covered in receipts and scraps of paper where I’ve scribbled down phone numbers or prices. Dealing with suppliers can be a headache sometimes, especially when shipments are late or the quality isn't what we expected. We have a few guys who help with the heavy lifting and loading the tempos that come by. Pimpri is a loud place and the traffic around Gaylord Chowk is always a nightmare, so we have to plan our deliveries carefully. We don't use any fancy software for our accounts, just old-fashioned ledgers that we fill out by hand. It’s a straightforward business. We buy things, we store them, and we sell them to people who need them. We’ve been doing it this way for a long time and we don't see any reason to change it now. It keeps the lights on and the families fed.
