Vishvakarma Enterprises

Our shop is tucked away in Bibwewadi on the 5th Cross of Shivaji Road, specifically Shop No 8. It’s not the easiest place to find if you’re new to the neighborhood, but the locals know us. We’ve been doing this for a good bit of time now. The space is small, so we have to be organized, though sometimes boxes pile up anyway. We handle a bit of everything here. Mostly it's supplies and small parts that people need for their daily work. It gets busy in the afternoons when everyone is out running errands. I usually sit at the main counter and handle the paperwork while the boys help with the heavy lifting. We don’t really have a big staff, just a few of us making sure things run. There’s no air conditioning, so we keep the shutters open to get a breeze. It can get noisy with the traffic on Shivaji Road, but you get used to it after a week or two. If the fan breaks, it gets really stuffy, so we try to keep things maintained as best as we can. We're not doing anything fancy, just standard daily business. We aren't doing anything revolutionary. We just open up, sell what we have, and go home to our families. Some days are long, especially when the shipments arrive late and we have to stay to unload everything. It’s just a regular life running a small enterprise in a busy part of town. We take it one day at a time.
