Abhay Ayurved

Abhay Ayurved is right here at 12A Gayatri Nagar in Sodala. The easiest way to find us is to look for Sodala Metro Pillar No. 59A. The metro is always zooming by overhead, so there's a constant humming sound that we don't even notice anymore. Our shop is filled with jars and packets. It has that distinct smell of herbs and powders that you get with Ayurveda. We’ve been here since before the metro was even built. The area has changed a lot, but we’re still doing things the old way. We don't have a fancy computerized inventory. We just know where everything is on the shelves. If someone comes in looking for something specific, we usually have it tucked away somewhere. It gets a bit dusty because of the road traffic and wind, so we spend a lot of time cleaning the glass jars. We aren't trying to be a modern pharmacy. We like the traditional feel of the place. Customers often stay to chat for a bit while we wrap up their orders in paper. It’s a friendly atmosphere. Sometimes my son helps out behind the counter when he’s not busy with his studies. We don't do big advertisements. People just know us from the neighborhood. It’s a small, honest shop. We just want to provide the herbs people are looking for and keep the business going for as long as possible.
