Venkatadri Traders

Venkatadri Traders is tucked away at 22 Madhu Malati. It's in the State Bank Lane off Gokhale Road in Naupada, Thane. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze in that lane, especially if a big truck is trying to pass through. We’ve been here in Thane for a good bit now. Our place is mostly filled with stock and people moving things around. It isn't a showroom or a fancy office. It’s a trading spot. You can hear the sounds of the city from our door, but once you get into the lane, it’s a little quieter. Dealing with traders and customers all day keeps us on our toes. Sometimes the inventory gets a bit messy, but we know where everything is. The humidity here in Thane can be rough in the summer, so we usually have the fans going full blast. We don’t have a lot of formal rules about how we talk or dress. We just show up and get the orders sorted. It’s a family-run kind of vibe, even for the staff who aren't family. We know the neighbors and the guy who brings the tea. It’s a regular life of buying and selling. We don’t use any big words to describe what we do. We just trade. If you find the State Bank on Gokhale Road, you’re basically there. Just look for the Madhu Malati building. It’s on the left side as you enter the lane from the main street.
