Venkataraman

Our place is tucked away at 17/1 on the 14th Cross in Yeshwantpur. It’s near the 6th Main and KR Road, right inside Rukmani Nilya. Being near the Bombay Dying landmark helps people find us, though we are a bit off the main drag. This business, run by Venkataraman, isn't about flashy signs or big displays. We deal with specific items that people around here have come to rely on over the years. The shop is part of a residential building, so it feels more like a home than an office. We have shelves lined with stock, and there’s usually a ledger book open on the desk where we keep track of everything by hand. It’s a quiet spot compared to the main roads of Yeshwantpur. We spend a lot of time talking to customers who have been coming to us for decades. Sometimes they just stop by to say hello or ask for advice on something. The room has a specific smell of old paper and wood. We don't have a big team of people; it’s just us handling the day-to-day tasks like answering the phone and checking the inventory. It’s a slow and steady kind of life here. We don't feel the need to rush or change how we do things just because the rest of the city is getting faster. We like the way things are in our little corner of Rukmani Nilya. It stays the same year after year.
