Mohsin Traders

We’ve been running Mohsin Traders out of No. 47 Ganesh Peth for quite a long time now. It’s a busy spot, right near Shivramdada Talim, so there is always some activity happening outside our doors. Most people in the neighborhood know us just as the guys in that old shop. We don’t have any fancy signs or a big marketing budget. We just open up in the morning and see who comes by. The building itself has seen better days, but it’s sturdy enough for what we do. Inside, it’s usually a bit of a mess with boxes and stock piled up, but we know where everything is. We spend our days talking to regular customers and trying to keep track of what’s coming in and going out. It’s not the kind of job that makes it into the newspapers, but it’s what we know. Sometimes the traffic in Ganesh Peth gets so bad that even the delivery rickshaws can’t get through, but we just wait it out. We don’t have a huge staff, just a few of us who have worked together for years. We don't really use big words or have meetings to talk about goals. We just want to make sure the orders are right and the people who buy from us are satisfied enough to come back next time. It’s a basic way to live, but it works for us and our families. We like the routine of it all.
