Mintra Fashions

Our shop, Mintra Fashions, is over at 7-4-211/38 in the Shivbagh area of Ameerpet. It’s a bit of a walk from the main metro station, but it’s a decent spot for a clothing store. We have been running things here for a bit, mostly just keeping the racks filled with whatever is available. The shop is a simple one-room setup for the most part. We have a mirror in the corner and a small place for people to change. It’s not the biggest place in Hyderabad, but it works for what we do. We usually start the day by sweeping out the dust and getting the hangers straight. There is always something that needs to be fixed or moved. We don't have a huge staff, so we do everything ourselves, from talking to people who walk in to checking the inventory at the end of the day. The Shivbagh area has its own vibe, a bit more residential than the main Ameerpet road, but still busy. We get a mix of people, some just passing through and others who live right around the corner. We don't use any fancy sales tactics. If you like something, you buy it. If not, that’s okay too. We just try to keep the shop open and the clothes in good condition. It’s just a normal way to earn a living. Sometimes we sit outside for a bit if it's quiet, just watching the bikes go by. It isn't a glamorous job, but it's ours.
