G.P. Awan Kumar And Company

Our business is located at stall 136 in the Sri Krishna Rao Market on Krishnarajendra road. This market has a lot of history, and you can feel it in the old walls and the way the air smells. It’s a busy, cramped place where everyone knows everyone else’s business, which can be both good and bad. We’ve been here for a long time, dealing with the daily chaos of KR Road outside. The constant noise of the buses and the shouting of the vendors is something you just get used to after a week or two. Because we deal with a lot of bulk orders, there are always sacks and crates being moved around by the guys. It’s heavy work and it makes you really tired by the end of the day. Having no website or any of that fancy stuff doesn't stop us. If people want to find us, they just come into the market and ask for stall 136. The floor is old stone and it’s seen a lot of feet over the many years we have been here. Most days we spend a lot of time drinking tea and talking to the regular buyers who have been coming to us for decades now. It’s more of a community than just a marketplace. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts or the roof leaking a bit when the monsoon is heavy, but we just put out a bucket and keep going with our work.
