Shyam Armature

Shyam Armature is situated at A 181/18 in Sukhdev Market, Kotla Mubarakpur. It’s a bit of a crowded corner but we’ve made it our home. We work on armatures and electrical stuff, mostly repairs and supplying parts. The market here is always buzzing with people looking for electrical spares. Our shop isn't very large, so we have to use every bit of shelf space we have. You’ll usually see a few of us surrounded by wires and motors. It’s a hands-on kind of place. We don’t use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. We just fix things and sell the parts that people need for their motors. Kotla Mubarakpur is an old area, so the streets are narrow and the buildings are close together. It has a real community feel though. We know the guys in the shops next door and we usually grab tea from the same stall every morning. We don't have a big marketing budget or a website with lots of photos. People usually find us by word of mouth or because they are already in Sukhdev Market for something else. It’s a steady way to live. We open the shutters, do the work, and close up at night. There’s no big secret to it. The area gets very lively in the evenings when everyone is finishing their work and heading home. We've been part of this market for a long time and have seen many people come through these doors.
