Bharat Tools

If you are looking for us, we are right at 1646 on Dr Rajkumar Road, just across from the Ragavendra Temple in Rajajinagar. It’s a very busy street, especially during the festival days when the temple is crowded. The shop itself is pretty small and filled from floor to ceiling with all kinds of tools. We have boxes stacked in every corner, and sometimes it takes a minute to find the exact wrench or drill bit someone is asking for. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when more than three customers are inside at the same time. We don't have any air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that works hard all day. Bharat Tools has been here for years, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot. The traffic outside never seems to stop. We don't spend any time on marketing or trying to look polished. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for the first customer to come in. Most people who stop by are locals or contractors who know we carry the basic stuff they need. We don't have a computer system for the stock; we just know what we have by looking at the shelves. It is a bit old-fashioned, but it’s how we’ve always done it. We just focus on selling tools to people who need them for their jobs. It is a simple, honest business and we like the people here.
