Navlaee Paithani

We’re located over in Sadashiv Peth, right near City Pride Shoes at 719/724. If you know this part of town, you know it’s got a lot of history and the lanes can be pretty narrow. Navlaee Paithani has been here for a good while. It’s a family-run kind of place where things move at their own pace. We don’t have a big fancy staff or anything like that. It’s usually just a couple of us here making sure everything is in its right place. The shop itself is tucked away, so if you aren't looking for the landmark, you might walk right past us. We spend a lot of time folding things and organizing the shelves because things tend to get messy when we're busy. The building is older, so the floors creak a bit and it stays cool in the summer which is nice. We didn't really plan on being here this long, but it just happened. People around here know us and we know them. We aren't trying to change the world or anything, just trying to provide what people need. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s quiet and just watch the traffic go by on the street. It’s a decent way to spend the day. We don’t use any big computers or complicated systems; we just write things down and keep track of it all ourselves. It works for us and keep the business going along.
