Shri Shanthi Traders

Shri Shanthi Traders is located out in Gulunche at the Sheetal Shagun Industrial Estate on Sativali Road. We are in one of those big blocks where there is always someone loading or unloading a truck. We mostly deal with trading different goods and materials that other businesses need. It is not a place where people come to shop for fun. It is more about boxes and invoices and making sure things get moved from one place to another. The office is just a desk with a lot of papers and a computer that is a bit slow. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to drivers and people at the warehouse. The estate is quite dusty and there is always the sound of forklifts nearby. We have been working here for a while and we know the other traders around us. We share tea and talk about the prices of things. Sometimes the shipments are late and we have to wait around quite a bit. It is just the way the business works. We don't have a big sign or anything fancy on the outside. You just have to know which door is ours. It’s a lot of physical work and keeping track of numbers but we are used to the routine by now. We close up once the last truck is gone for the day and the gate gets locked for the night until tomorrow morning.
