Santosh Balaji Spicrs

You can find us at 4-5-26/18, right on the 3/1 Vidhyanagar Main Road. It’s a convenient spot because it’s right on the main path where everyone travels throughout the day. We handle spices, hence the name, and our days are mostly spent packing and sorting through different batches that come in. The shop isn't anything special to look at, just a solid building where we keep our stock dry and clean. We’ve got a few people working here who have been with us since the start. We see a lot of the same faces every week, mostly women from the neighborhood or restaurant owners looking for bulk stuff. The main road can get pretty dusty, so we are always cleaning the front of the shop. We don’t use any complicated systems here. We write things down in our books and keep track of what’s coming in and going out. It’s a simple way to run a business but it works for us. Sometimes we have a tea together in the afternoon when things slow down a bit. We like the location because everyone knows the Vidhyanagar area. If you’re driving down the main road, you can’t really miss the numbers on our door. We just try to keep what people need without making a big fuss about it. It’s just a local spice place that’s been part of the street for a long time now. We just do our work and stay busy.
