Sindur

If you're ever in the T. Nagar area, you might have passed by Sindur. We are located at 6 Vasan Street. T. Nagar is always such a hectic and crowded place to be, but Vasan Street is where we have our little setup. We've been around for a while now, dealing with the daily grind of running a business in one of the busiest shopping districts in the city. There's always something happening right outside the door, people rushing by or cars looking for parking, which is never an easy thing to find around here. Inside, we just try to keep things moving along. We handle our stock and spend time talking to the regulars who have been coming to us for years. We aren't some big chain store with shiny floors and bright lights; it’s more of a lived-in space where we know exactly where everything is kept. We spend a lot of time on our feet, making sure things are where they should be and the shelves look okay for the day. The weather in Chennai can be pretty hot and humid, so we usually have the ceiling fans going full blast all day long. It’s a typical local business vibe where we recognize the postman and the tea seller who comes around every afternoon. We don't spend any money on big advertisements or anything like that. Most of our work comes from people just knowing we are here on Vasan Street. It's a lot of hard work, but we like being in the middle of T. Nagar.
