Star Auto Products - Rajkot

I started this shop on Karanshinhji Main Road a long time back. Rajkot is a very busy place for auto parts, and we are right in the middle of it near Canal Road. The shop is small, but it holds everything we need for the day. Most days start with opening the heavy iron shutters early because the traffic here gets heavy pretty fast. You can hear the bikes and rickshaws all day long. We spend most of our time looking through cardboard boxes and matching parts for people who come in from the street. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, so we are always wiping down the wooden counters. It’s not a fancy place at all. Just a few plastic chairs, a desk, and metal shelves full of bits and pieces. We know the neighbors well, especially the guys at the tea stall nearby who bring us snacks. When it rains, the water collects near the canal, and things slow down a bit. But usually, it is just us working through the list of orders we get. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know where every nut and bolt is kept on the shelves. It’s a lot of manual work, checking sizes and making sure the inventory is right. We don’t do any advertising; people just find us. It is just a regular Rajkot business, trying to keep things moving day by day without any complicated systems.
