Gautham Vasudev

You can find my place in Malleshwaram, at Gala No C 4 in Rustom Market. It’s right on Link Road 101 1. I’ve been operating from this spot for a while now. The market is always buzzing with shoppers and other traders. My shop, Gautham Vasudev, is tucked in there among many others. I deal with various goods depending on what people are looking for. It’s a small space, but I make the most of it. Usually, I arrive early to beat the traffic and get things set up. The Link Road can get really jammed up during the evenings, so I try to finish my deliveries before that happens. Malleshwaram is a great area with a lot of history and old trees. Sometimes I walk down the street to grab a coffee during a break. The gala is packed with stock, and I spend a lot of time organizing things so I can find them. I don't use any fancy systems, just my notebook and my memory. It’s a very hands-on way of doing business. Customers come in, we talk about what they need, and I see if I can help them out. I don't like to rush things. It’s more about building a relationship with the people who come to the market. Some of them have been coming to me for years. It’s a simple life, running a shop in a busy part of Bangalore. I just focus on the day-to-day tasks. Things stay busy and that is how I like it.
