G S Ramaswamy Chetty & Son

You can find G S Ramaswamy Chetty & Son right in the middle of Shivaji Nagar. We are located at Russel Market Square, which everyone knows is one of the busiest spots in the city. Our shop is at number 31. It’s been under this name for a long time, passed down through the family. The area around us is always full of life, with the market noise and the smell of fresh goods nearby. Every morning, the shutters go up and we start arranging things. It’s not a quiet place to work, but we like being where the action is. The building itself shows its age a bit, but that’s common for Shivaji Nagar. We see all kinds of people coming through the square, from old regulars who have been visiting for decades to new faces just passing through the market. Being at number 31 means we are right there in the thick of the crowd. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped with all the boxes and people, but that’s just the way things are here. We don't spend money on fancy decorations or big signs. The name on the board is enough. We deal with customers one by one, mostly talking about what they need and how the prices are moving that week. It is a straightforward life here in the square. We close up when the market starts to quiet down in the evening, ready to do it all again the next day.
