Shah Sales Corporation

Down in New Raviwar Peth at number 210, that’s where we are. This area is always packed with people and shops. It’s one of those parts of town where there is always something happening. Our shop is tucked in among many others. We spend our days handling sales and talking to customers who walk in. It gets pretty loud with the market noise outside, but you get used to it after a week or two. The shelves are usually full of whatever we’ve got in stock that month. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside, especially when we get a big shipment in. We don’t have a lot of space for a fancy showroom, so things are just stacked where they fit. We’ve been in Raviwar Peth for a long time. People know us as the place that’s always open early. We don’t really use computers for everything; a lot of it is still written down in ledgers because that’s how we’ve always done it. It’s a lot of work, but it keeps us busy. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the front door, so we put a bucket there and just keep working. It’s just a normal day for us here. We usually close up when the sun goes down and the other shops start pulling their shutters. Then we walk over to the chai stall for one last cup before heading home to our families.
