Arun Ice Cream Chindradripet / Velmurugan Agy

Velmurugan Agency is based right here on Arunachala Naicken Street in Chindadripet. It is a crowded part of town, near Mount Road, so there is always a lot of movement. We handle the Arun Ice Cream distribution and sales from No 84. The street is narrow, and sometimes getting the delivery trucks in and out is a real headache, especially in the mornings when the market is in full swing. We have been operating this agency for a bit now, and it’s mostly about managing the stock and making sure the freezers stay cold. It’s a practical business. We don’t have fancy decorations or anything. It’s just us, the boxes, and the customers who come in. Some people come to buy just one or two items, while others are stocking up for a small party at home. Chindadripet has a specific energy to it, and we are right in the middle of it. The noise from the street comes right through the door, but you get used to it after a week or two. My brother and I usually take turns at the counter. We talk to the local shopkeepers who come to pick up their supplies. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady work. We see the same faces every week. When the rains come, the street gets a bit messy and the water pools up, but the ice cream still sells because people around here have a sweet tooth regardless of the weather outside today.
