P. Mangatram Jewellers Pvt. Ltd.

We are up on the 1st floor of the Ratan Mall Complex at 5-8-599 in the Abids area of Hyderabad. Mubarak Bazar is always bustling with people, and sometimes the noise from the street carries all the way up here. P. Mangatram Jewellers isn't like those massive showrooms you see on TV with huge billboards. We are more of a traditional setup where we focus on the actual craft. The shop has a lot of glass cases, and we spend a good chunk of our morning just cleaning fingerprints off them. Abids is a historic part of the city, and being here feels like being part of that old Hyderabad charm. We have customers who have been coming to us for generations, bringing their kids and then their grandkids. It’s a lot of sitting down and looking closely at small details under a lamp. Sometimes our eyes get tired by the end of the day. We don't have a corporate script for how we talk to people. We just greet them and show them what we have on the velvet trays. It can get a bit cramped when too many people come in at once, but we make it work. We stay open until late in the evening because that’s when the bazar really comes alive. It is a lot of hard work, but seeing someone find exactly what they wanted makes the long hours worth it. We just take it one day at a time here.
