Shilpi Telecom

Shilpi Telecom is right in the middle of the Shadipur Main Bazaar at number 2645. It gets really loud out there with all the rickshaws and people walking by, but inside the shop, we just focus on the work. We've been at this spot for quite a few years now. Most of the day is spent handling small things like recharges or selling basic accessories. The bazaar is always moving, so there is never a dull moment. Our shop isn't anything to look at twice, just a counter and some shelves filled with chargers and batteries. We get a lot of people coming in who are just passing through the market and need a quick fix for their phone. I usually have the radio playing in the background to drown out some of the noise from the street. Being at 2645 Shadipur Main Bazaar means we see everyone. It’s a tight space, so we try not to let too many people in at once or it gets too hot. My hands are usually a bit dirty from working on the internal parts of the phones. We don't use any fancy systems, just a notebook to keep track of who owes what and what repairs are pending. It’s an honest way to make a living and the neighbors are all good people. We open when the market opens and stay until it’s time to head home. It's just a regular shop.
