Gagan Telecom

Gagan Telecom is our little shop here in Govindpuri, specifically at 3264. It’s a small space, but we manage to fit quite a bit inside. Most people stop by because they need a quick recharge or their phone screen is acting up again. We see a lot of people from the neighborhood every day. Some just want a new cover or a pair of cheap earphones because they lost theirs on the bus. It gets quite loud around here in Govind Puri, but we are used to it by now. The shop is usually full of boxes and old phone parts that we keep for spares. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in Delhi or anything. We just want to make sure if someone comes in with a broken charging port, we can help them out without any fuss. Sometimes it takes a bit longer if we have to wait for a part to arrive from the supplier. We have a few stools for people to sit on while they wait, though it’s a tight squeeze sometimes when three or four people are inside. It’s just a regular life here. My cousin helps out when things get busy in the evenings after college. We’ve seen the street change a lot over the years, but our shop stays pretty much the same. Just a counter, some display cases, and us working. That is enough for us to keep going every day.
