Shiv Shakti Mobiles

You can find us at B 24 B in Indira Bazar. It is a very crowded part of town, so finding a place to park a bike can be a real struggle most days. Our shop is small, filled with cases, chargers, and boxes of screen protectors stacked up to the ceiling. We have been here for a good amount of time, seeing the market change as new phone brands come and go every few months. Mostly, people drop in because their battery is dying or they dropped their phone on the pavement while walking. We do a lot of repairs right there behind the counter where people can watch. It’s noisy outside with the rickshaws and people shouting, but we stay focused on the small parts. The shop walls are covered in posters of the latest smartphones, even if they are a bit faded from the sun. We don't have a fancy website or any marketing people. Most of our customers are just people walking through the bazar who need a quick fix or a cheap pair of earphones for their commute. We keep a jar of water for anyone who looks thirsty from the heat. It’s a simple life. We open early and close when the last customer finally leaves. Sometimes we sit on the stools outside and chat with the guy who runs the garment shop next door. It’s just a regular mobile shop in a busy market.
