Sridhara Book Traders

Our business is based at 51 P S Building on Avenue Road. If you’ve ever been to Avenue Road, you know it’s one of the busiest places in the city. There are people everywhere and the noise never really stops. We are located in an older building that has a lot of character, though the stairs can be a bit of a climb. Our shop is filled with rows and rows of books, mostly focused on trade and educational topics. It’s a bit cramped inside, especially when we get a new shipment and the boxes are sitting in the middle of the floor. We spend most of our time sorting through titles and helping customers who are looking for something very specific. It’s not a fancy bookstore with chairs or a cafe. It’s a place for people who know what they want and come here to find it. I’ve been working here for years, and I still get surprised by some of the old books we find tucked away in the back. We have a small team of three people. We handle everything from the cleaning to the accounts. Sometimes the rain leaks in a little near the front window, so we have to be careful where we put the stock. It’s just a normal shop run by normal people. We like being part of the chaos of Avenue Road. It’s tiring but it’s never boring and we like the people we meet.
