Shree Shyam Electricals

Shree Shyam Electricals is tucked away at 2098/109, Chah Indara, which is right behind where the Jubilee Cinema used to be in Bhagirath Palace. This area is the heart of the electrical market in Delhi, so it is always incredibly crowded and loud. You have to push your way through narrow lanes filled with people and carts just to reach our shop. We have been in this spot for a very long time. The shop is small and every inch of wall space is covered with switches, wires, and various electrical components. We don't have a computer system for our stock; we just know where everything is kept by memory. It is a bit chaotic, but we manage to find what the customer needs eventually. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights to attract people. Most of our customers are regular contractors who have been buying from us since my father ran the place. We sit on small stools behind the wooden counter and handle transactions all day long. The tea seller comes by several times a day, which is really the only break we get. It’s a hot and dusty environment, and the fans barely do much in the peak of summer, but this is where the business is. We like being part of the history of Bhagirath Palace and wouldn't really want to be anywhere else. It’s a real, honest way to spend the day.
