Shashi Communications

Shashi Communications is found in Mathikere on the Pune Road, at Dapodi 623. The location is right on the main path for anyone heading out of the city, so we see a lot of commuters. The shop itself is quite modest, with a few shelves and a counter that has seen better days. We spend a lot of time dealing with phone recharges and fixing small hardware problems that happen from daily use. The Pune Road is always loud with the sound of heavy trucks and buses passing by Dapodi 623. It’s a dusty spot, but we try to keep the glass cases clean so people can see the accessories. My brother and I run the place, and we’ve been here for several years now. We don't have any polished corporate training; we just learned by doing the work every day. The shop stays open late because that’s when the workers are heading back to Mathikere and need their phones fixed. It can get a bit cramped when we have a lot of stock coming in, but we manage to find a place for everything. We have a small radio that stays on most of the day to keep us company. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but it’s what we are good at. People in the area know us as the place to go when they need something quick and simple. That's just how Shashi Communications has always been.
