Chawla Bearings is right in the middle of Shastri Market at number 92. If you’ve ever been to the market, you know how crowded and noisy it can get. We’ve been here for quite some time, squeezed in between all the other shops. It’s a small place, mostly filled with boxes of bearings from floor to ceiling. You have to watch your step because there’s almost always a delivery coming in or going out. We don’t have much room for a desk, so we usually just stand at the counter and talk to customers. It’s a very local way of doing things. We know most of the people who walk in by their first names. We don't do much advertising. People just know that if they need a specific size of bearing, we probably have it tucked away on a shelf somewhere. The lighting isn't great, and it can get pretty hot in the summer, but we like being in the market. There's a certain energy to it. Sometimes we have tea delivered from the stall around the corner while we look through the inventory books. It’s not a high-tech operation. We still use a lot of paper and ink. It works for us. We just focus on giving people what they ask for without a lot of fuss. It’s a simple life running a shop here, and we wouldn't have it any other way. It is just a regular market shop where we work hard.
