H N Lakshminarayana Rao

You can find us at 155 Huriopet, which is right in the heart of Chickpet. H N Lakshminarayana Rao is the name on the door, though most folks just know the location. We have been here for a very long time, through all the changes the city has seen. The street is narrow and always full of people and goods. Our shop is quite traditional. We haven't changed much about the way we do things over the years. We keep a variety of goods that are common in this part of the market. It’s a lot of hard work, especially when the weather is hot and the crowds are thick. We don't have any fancy air conditioning or modern interiors. It's just wooden shelves and old counters. Most of our day is spent helping people who have been coming to us for decades. We know their families and they know ours. That’s the way it is in Chickpet. You build relationships over time. We open early to get a head start on the day’s work. There’s always something to be moved or sorted. We don't use any special marketing tricks. We just stay open and provide what we have for the usual price. If you’re looking for us, just ask anyone in Huriopet. Most of the neighbors can point you to the right door. It’s a simple life and a simple business.
