Alpha Digital

Alpha Digital is over in Periyar Nagar West, right in Perambur. The shop number is 9/85. It’s a pretty standard street with a lot of local houses and small shops. Perambur is a busy part of the city, and we’ve been here long enough that most of the neighbors know us by name. The shop itself is quite long and narrow. We have the digital machines lined up on one side and a small desk for me on the other. It gets quite warm in the afternoon, even with the fan blowing. I usually keep the front door open to let some air in, though that also lets in the dust. We handle a lot of small jobs for people in the area. It’s just me and one other guy who helps with the technical stuff. We don't have a big corporate setup. Most of our furniture is stuff we've had for a decade. The tea seller across the road brings us ginger tea twice a day. That’s usually the highlight of the afternoon. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and making sure the colors look okay on the prints. It’s repetitive work sometimes, but it’s what we know how to do. Periyar Nagar is a nice place to have a business because people are friendly. We aren't trying to become some giant company, we just want to keep the machines running and the bills paid so we can keep going.
