Skanda Telecom

Down in Padmanabhanagar, inside Hong Kong Bazar at 282, that’s where you’ll find us. It’s a tight space but we manage to fit a lot of things on the walls. We do a bit of everything related to phones. Repairs are a big part of what we do. People come in with broken charging pins or buttons that don't click anymore. We have boxes of spare parts and tools scattered behind the counter. It’s not the neatest place, but we know where everything is. Hong Kong Bazar is always humming with people looking for bargains. We fit right in. We sell basic handsets, the kind that last forever, and also some of the newer ones. If you need a SIM card or just some talk time, we handle that too. We’ve known some of our customers for years. They live nearby and stop by just to say hello or ask about a new gadget they saw on TV. We try to be honest about what’s worth buying and what isn't. If a phone is too old to fix, we say it. No sense in taking money for something that will break again in a week. The lighting in the bazar is a bit bright, but it helps us see the tiny screws inside the phones. We open mid-morning and stay until the market starts to quiet down. It’s a decent living and we like being part of the local crowd here. We keep it simple and just do the work.
