Gobind Ram Ashok Kumar

The shop belongs to Gobind Ram Ashok Kumar and you can find us at number 23 on 11th Main in Sector 26. This is a place that feels like it’s been around forever. We deal in bulk goods and everyday items that people need for their homes. There are no fancy aisles or shopping carts here. Instead, you’ll find sacks of grains, pulses, and large containers of oils sitting on the floor. The smell is a mix of spices and jute bags. It’s a very traditional way of doing business that we haven't changed much over the years. We weigh things out on the old scales and write down totals on small slips of paper. It’s often dusty from all the dry goods being moved around, but that’s just how it is in a shop like this. My father and I run the place mostly, and we have a couple of helpers for the heavy lifting when the trucks arrive in the mornings. People come here because they know the quality is steady and we don't try to fool them. They don't expect a polished supermarket experience. They expect to talk to us and get exactly the amount they need. The 11th Main road is always busy with deliveries, and our front step is a common place for people to stop and chat for a minute while they wait. We don’t use any marketing tricks or big slogans. The name on the board is our family name.
