Swastik General Stores

Our shop, Swastik General Stores, is located at 162 Jawahar Marg, right in the Rajwada area of Indore. Being near Narsingh Bazar means there is always a lot of movement and noise around us. It’s a very old part of the city. The building itself has some character, even if the walls could use a fresh coat of paint eventually. We have all sorts of general items crammed into the space we have. It’s one of those shops where you might have to look twice to find what you need because we try to fit so much in. We get all kinds of people coming through, from those who have lived here for decades to people just visiting the Rajwada area for the first time. The street outside is usually full of parked bikes and people walking around. Inside, it’s a bit more peaceful, though we are always kept busy weighing things out or bagging items for customers. We don't use any high-tech systems here. It’s mostly just pen and paper and our own memory of where everything is kept. We try to stay stocked up on the basics like soap, grains, and household cleaners. It’s a bit of a grind sometimes, especially when the summer heat is bad, but it’s what we do. The shelves are a bit dusty by the end of the day, but we clean them when we can. We are just a regular fixture of the Narsingh Bazar landscape, serving whoever happens to walk in off the street to get what they need.
