Pooja

Our shop, Pooja, is located inside the City Trade Centre, right at number 926 in Budhwar Peth. It’s a bit of a maze in this building if you aren't used to it, but once you find us, it's pretty straightforward. We've been in this unit for several years now. Most days it’s just me and one other person here. Budhwar Peth is always crowded and noisy, but inside the trade centre, it’s a little quieter. We sell a variety of things, mostly stuff people need for their daily routines or special occasions at home. We don't have a big sign outside the main building, so most people find us by word of mouth or by just wandering through the hallways. The shelves are usually full, sometimes maybe a bit too full, but we like having options. It gets a bit warm in the afternoons when the sun hits the side of the building, but we have a couple of fans going. We aren't doing anything revolutionary here. We just open up in the morning, set things up, and wait for the regulars to stop by for a chat and to see what’s new. Sometimes we stay late if there's a lot of inventory to count, but mostly we stick to the usual hours. It's a simple business and we like the people who come in. No big corporate rules, just us running the place as best as we can. We try to keep it simple.
