Switch Control

Switch Control is located at No. 4665/15 in Jaimata Market, over in Trinagar. The market is always moving, and we are right in the middle of it. Our shop is mostly filled with boxes of electrical switches and different control components. It’s a lot of plastic and metal everywhere you look. We have a small workbench where we check things before they go out to customers. It’s not a large place, so we have to stack the inventory pretty high up the walls. Some days it feels like we are just moving boxes around to find one specific part that a customer wants. The air in the market is always full of sounds—people shouting, horns honking, and the general bustle of trade. We’ve been here long enough that we don’t even notice it anymore. We talk to the other shop owners while we’re opening up in the morning. It’s a very local way of doing things. We don't have a website or anything like that; people just know we’re here in the market when they need a switch replaced or a new control panel part. We keep a ledger for everything, and it’s mostly just pen and paper work. It’s a steady rhythm of selling parts and ordering more when the shelves get empty.
