Aamal Creations

You can find Aamal Creations at Shop No. 5 in Nehru Bazzar, Avadi. The address is a bit confusing because it’s Old No. 40 but New No. 55. We just tell people to look for the sign in the middle of the bazaar. It’s a very busy market area with people everywhere. Every morning we roll up the heavy metal shutter and start getting things ready for the day. There are so many shops here that it feels like a big family sometimes. We all know each other’s business and help out when needed. We spend a lot of time talking to customers who are just out for their daily shopping. The bazaar is full of different smells and sounds, from the vegetable sellers yelling to the noise of the traffic nearby. It’s a very lively place to be. We keep the shop packed with as much as we can fit on the shelves and in the corners. It’s not a very large space, so we have to be clever with how we stack the boxes to keep the floor clear. We don't use any fancy computer systems for our sales, just a simple notebook and a pen that we keep on the counter. It’s the way we’ve always done it and it works for us. Sometimes it gets really hot in the afternoons, but that’s just part of working in an open market. We take a short break for lunch and then get back to work.
