Shivshakti Paints

Our shop, Shivshakti Paints, is situated at Survey No. 13 in the Barangani Mala area. We are right opposite the Tejswini Gas Godown in Vadgaon Dhyari. It’s a bit away from the main city center, so it feels a little more relaxed out here compared to the middle of Pune. You can see the big gas cylinders being moved around at the godown across the road all day long. That’s usually how people find us if they’ve never been here before. We have a decent amount of space in the shop for all the different cans and brushes. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so we usually keep the fans running at full speed. Vadgaon Dhyari has been growing a lot lately with new buildings going up everywhere. Because of that, we stay pretty busy with people coming in to get stuff for their new homes. We don't have any fancy displays or a big marketing team. It’s just me and a couple of others keeping the place going. We open up early and stay until the evening when the street lights come on. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to sit for a bit and talk about the local news. It’s a simple way to spend the day. We try to keep everything in its place, but with so much stock, it’s always a bit of a mess. That’s just how it goes when you’re working with paint every day and trying to keep up with orders.
