Shantinath Traders

You’ll find Shantinath Traders out at the 13/6 milestone on the Pune-Panshet Road. We are near P.O. Girinagar, which is a bit outside the main city. It’s a lot quieter here, and the air is a bit fresher than in the middle of Pune. We have a decent-sized space where we keep our goods and manage the trading business. Most of the day involves loading and unloading trucks that stop by on their way to or from the city. It’s physical work, and we are often covered in a bit of dust by the time evening rolls around. Our office is just a small room at the front where we keep the ledger and the phone. It’s nothing fancy, just some old wooden furniture and a fan that’s seen better days. We don't have any corporate mission statements or anything like that. We just buy what’s needed and sell it at a fair rate. People who travel this road often stop by just to say hello or see what we have in stock. The pace of life is a bit slower here, which suits us just fine. We start early when the sun is coming up over the hills and finish once the last order is packed. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we’ve been doing it this way for years. We don’t need a lot of bells and whistles to get the job done right.
