Shiv Shakti Traders

Shiv Shakti Traders sits right in the Abhishek Complex, taking up a few spots from Plot 34 to 36. It’s a big area in the GIDC estate and it stays quite busy from Monday to Saturday. We mostly deal with trading different supplies that the factories nearby need. It’s not a glamorous job, just moving goods from one place to another and making sure people have what they asked for. We started small and just kind of stayed here as the complex grew around us. My brother and I handle most of the paperwork, which can get a bit much when the orders pile up. The complex can be a bit of a maze if you aren't familiar with it. We usually have tea delivered twice a day from the stall around the corner, which keeps us going. There's always a truck backing in or someone asking for a price on something we haven't seen in months. We do our best to keep things in stock, but space is always a bit tight. We don't have a big marketing department or anything. It’s just us and a couple of helpers. People know where we are if they need hardware or industrial stuff. We just try to stay out of trouble and keep the business running. It's a living, and it gets us by. We've seen a lot of changes in the estate over the years, but we just stick to what we know best.
