Parashram Laxman Khaire & Sons

The business of Parashram Laxman Khaire & Sons has been a fixture around Gultekdi and Pimple Gurav for a long time. We operate out of the space at 480/481/482, which gives us a decent amount of room for what we do. It’s a family name on the sign, and that means something to us. My father and his father before him were involved in this work, so we’ve grown up in these rooms. The floors are a bit worn down from years of boots walking over them, and the furniture is mostly old wood that’s seen better days. We don't see any reason to change things that still work fine. Pimple Gurav is a place where people know their neighbors, and we’ve become part of that fabric. We deal with our daily tasks without much ceremony. Sometimes it’s quiet, other times everyone is talking at once and the phones won't stop ringing. Being located in the Gultekdi area means we are right in the thick of things. We aren't a corporate giant with a PR department. We’re just a bunch of sons and relatives carrying on the name. Our records are kept in big ledgers and on an old computer that takes its time to start up. It might seem a bit old-fashioned to some people, but it’s how we operate. We show up every morning, unlock the doors, and get to it. That’s just the way it is here for us and the family.
