Jaquar

You can find us at Banaswadi Agarwal Market on MG Road, number 311. It’s a lively area, and being in the market means there is always noise and people moving about. We handle Jaquar bathroom fittings and kitchen taps. The shop isn't huge, so we have to be smart about how we stack the boxes. Most days involve opening crates and checking that the finish on the chrome is okay before putting it out. We get a lot of walk-ins from the market who are just looking for a replacement washer or a new shower arm because theirs started dripping. We’ve been here at this MG Road spot for quite some time, and we've seen the market change. The building is an older one, but it stays cool enough in the summer. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything like that. We just focus on what's in front of us. Sometimes the traffic outside makes it hard for delivery trucks to pull up, so we end up carrying boxes quite a way from the street. It keeps us moving. We use a handwritten ledger for most of our daily notes because it’s faster than the computer sometimes. It is just a straightforward place for bathroom hardware. We try to be helpful when someone comes in confused about thread sizes or pipe diameters. We keep the shop open until late evening for the convenience of the market crowd.
