Manki Shankaraiah

My name is Manki Shankaraiah and I run my business from my home in East Anand Bagh. The address is H No 25-40-6-1 in the Malkajgiri area. It’s a very busy part of the city with lots of people coming and going. I do mostly small jobs and repair services for people in the neighborhood. Some people ask for help with electrical things or general maintenance around their houses when things break. I’m not a big contractor with a crew of fifty people or big trucks. It’s usually just me and maybe one helper if the job is too heavy for one person. I’ve lived in Malkajgiri for a long time. I know where all the local hardware stores are and which ones have the best prices for parts. My workshop is just a small room at the back of the house. It's full of tools and spare parts I've collected over the years. Some people would say it's messy, but I know where every single wrench and screwdriver is. I don't use a computer for my accounts or anything like that. I just write everything down in a small notebook I carry. It’s easier that way for me. Sometimes I'm out on a job and my phone battery dies, so people have to wait till I get back home in the evening. I try to get back to everyone who calls. I'm just a local guy trying to do good work.
