Merchant Enterprises

We set up Merchant Enterprises in Shiv Darshan Apartment, right on Veer Savarkar Road. It is in Virar East, so it is a very busy part of the town to be working in. Our shop is at No.2/8/9. It is not a huge place by any means, but we manage to fit all our stock in there somehow. We deal with various supplies that people need for their local shops or their homes. Most of the time, I am just sitting behind the wooden counter checking the inventory lists. We get a lot of walk-in customers since we are located in a residential building area. People from the apartments upstairs often come down just to see what new things we have in. It is a lot of small talk and checking the orders. We have been here for a few years now. The traffic out on Veer Savarkar Road can be quite loud during the peak hours of the day. We try to keep the place tidy, but when new stock arrives, the boxes seem to take up all the floor space. It usually takes us a couple of days to get everything sorted and put away on the shelves. We don’t have a big team at all, just a few of us making sure things run okay. It is an honest living. We open up early and stay until the sun goes down. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts, but that is just part of life here.
