Swami Medical & Genral Store

Our shop is tucked into Shop No 67 inside the Shailab Complex. It sits right on Vastrapur Lake Road, which is almost always busy with traffic and people walking by the water. Being right opposite Sanjivani Hospital means we see a lot of people who are coming straight from their appointments with a list of things they need to get. We aren't just a pharmacy though; we keep general store items too because people often need a toothbrush or some soap while they are out picking up their medicine. The Vastrapur area has changed a lot over the years, but the lake road stays a main spot for everyone. Inside the store, it’s mostly just rows of shelves and us behind the main glass counter. Sometimes the electricity acts up or the computer is slow, but that’s just how it goes. We spend a lot of time checking expiry dates and making sure the fridge for the insulin stays at the right temperature. It’s a lot of work keeping everything organized in such a small space, especially when the delivery guys arrive with big boxes that take up the whole floor. We know most of the regulars by name now, and they usually stop for a quick chat while we wrap up their parcels. It’s just a normal daily routine for us here at the Shailab Complex.
