Sri Laxmi Venkateshwara

Our place is located at 32-8-64 in Yelahanka. If you know the area, you know it has grown a lot lately. We’ve stayed pretty much the same though. Sri Laxmi Venkateshwara is a name most people around here recognize because we’ve been part of the community for a while. It isn't a massive operation. It’s mostly just us handling the day-to-day tasks of running a shop. We deal with various items that people in Yelahanka need for their homes. The shop isn't always perfectly tidy, especially when a new shipment arrives and we have to stack things wherever they fit. My nephew helps out in the afternoons after his classes. We spend a lot of time talking to the neighbors who stop by. Sometimes they just come in to chat for a bit while they're out on their errands. The weather gets quite hot here, so we try to keep the front of the shop shaded. We aren't trying to compete with the big malls that are popping up. We just do our thing and hope people find what they are looking for. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting and moving stuff, but it keeps us active. We close for a few hours in the afternoon when it's quiet. If you pass by 32-8-64, you'll see us there, probably busy with some paperwork or organizing the back room.
