Body Zone Bengaluru

Body Zone Bengaluru is tucked away in Chickpet, over at Ds Lane. If you know this area, you know how tight the streets get and how many people are always walking around. Our building is number 21/23, and it’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes when the new stock arrives. We spend a lot of time unpacking boxes and making sure everything is where it should be on the shelves. It’s noisy outside with all the rickshaws and the loaders shouting, but inside we just focus on the clothes and the gear. We aren't doing anything fancy here. We just open up early, sweep the floor, and wait for the people who come through the lane. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit by the door for some light. It’s a bit cramped because we keep a lot of variety, and the walls are covered in stock. The stairs are narrow, so moving things up and down is always a bit of a workout for us. We drink a lot of tea from the guy around the corner while we wait for deliveries to show up. It’s a busy life in this part of town, and we’ve seen the shops around us change over the years while we just keep doing our thing. It’s not a big corporate space, just a local spot where we know most faces. We mostly spend our afternoons re-folding items that got messed up during the morning rush.
