Karthick & Company

Our shop is at number 19 on Palani Road. It’s a straightforward place. We’ve been here for years, and most people who live around here know where we are. Being on Palani Road means we get a lot of people passing by on their way to other places. We call ourselves Karthick & Company. It’s a family-run kind of thing. We don’t have a big marketing budget or anything like that. We just rely on doing a decent job so people come back. The building is a bit old, and the paint is peeling in some spots, but it’s sturdy. Inside, it’s mostly shelves and a desk where we handle the money and the paperwork. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty because of the traffic on the main road, but we try to keep it clean. We open up early in the morning. That’s when it’s coolest and we can get a lot done before the heat kicks in. We don’t make any big promises. We just tell people what we can do and then we do it. If you’re driving down Palani Road, you can’t miss us. It’s just a regular local business. No fancy frills or corporate talk. We like the independence of running our own show. It’s hard work, but it feels good at the end of the day. We usually close up when the sun goes down and head home to our families for dinner.
