Reliance Electronic

Reliance Electronic is based out of the Mahanium Apartments in Aminjikarai. Our space is unit A 1, right on Arunachala Puram Street. It is a bit different running a business out of an apartment building, but it works for us. It keeps things quiet and lets us focus on the repair work. We handle all sorts of electronic components and boards. If something has a chip or a capacitor that’s blown, there’s a good chance it ends up on our workbench. The street outside can get quite narrow and busy, but inside it’s mostly just the sound of soldering irons and the hum of power supplies. We aren't a big retail chain. We don't sell shiny new gadgets in boxes. Instead, we spend our time fixing the things people already own or helping small shops keep their equipment running. Our shelves are full of old parts and tools that we’ve collected over the years. Some days are slow, just cleaning up the shop or organizing the inventory, and other days we have more work than we can handle. We’ve lived and worked in this part of Chennai for a long time. We know the people and we know how much they rely on their electronics. We just try to be honest about what can be fixed and what’s probably ready for the scrap heap. It’s a living, and we enjoy the puzzles each new device brings.
