Raman Bagga

You can find me, Raman Bagga, at 16 BTM Layout 2nd Stage. My shop is part of the Agrwal Shopping area on IPCL Road. BTM is a really crowded place these days, and IPCL Road is no exception. There’s always people walking by and cars honking. My spot in the shopping complex is pretty easy to spot once you get inside. It’s not a very big space, but it’s enough for what I do. I have a counter and some shelves, and that’s about it. I’ve been here for a few years now, and I’ve gotten to know the other shopkeepers in the building quite well. We often share tea in the afternoons when things quiet down a little bit. The lighting in the back of the shop isn't great, so I usually keep the front door wide open to let in the sun. It can get a bit dusty because of all the traffic on the road outside, so I’m constantly wiping down the surfaces. I don't really have a big marketing plan or anything. I just show up every day, open the shutters, and see who comes in. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living. BTM 2nd Stage is a good place to be because there are so many people living nearby. I live not too far from here, so the commute isn't too bad on most days, unless the rain starts and the roads flood. I hope the roof holds up this year.
