Patel Roadways

We are located at Savitribai Niwas, which is right along the Old Mumbai Pune Highway in the Mawal area of Talegaon. It’s an interesting spot because it feels a bit more residential compared to the big industrial parks. The building itself has its own character, and it’s not just a boxy warehouse. We run this part of Patel Roadways out of a few rooms there. Being on the old highway means we see a lot of the local traffic and people who prefer the slower route between the cities. The air is a little better here than in the middle of the city, though the trucks still kick up a lot of dirt. We have a small porch where we sit sometimes when the work is caught up. The drivers like stopping here because it’s a bit more relaxed. We handle the local pickups and drop-offs for this region. It’s not a high-pressure environment most of the time, but we do have our busy mornings when everyone wants their deliveries at the same time. The electricity can be a bit spotty during the monsoon season, so we keep some torches and manual ledgers handy just in case. It’s a simple operation, really. We know most of the neighbors and the people who run the shops nearby. It feels more like a community here than just a business location, which makes the days go by a bit easier.
