Sudhir Kashyap

My name is Sudhir Kashyap and I run this small place in Pritamamber Gunj Mohalla. It’s a tight-knit spot and everyone kind of knows what everyone else is doing. My shop isn’t much to look at from the outside, but I’ve got everything I need inside to keep things moving. I’ve been in this mohalla for years and seen it change quite a bit. It’s usually pretty loud with the kids playing and the rickshaws going by. I do a lot of the work myself, though sometimes a cousin or a neighbor helps out when there’s too much to handle. I don’t use a lot of fancy technology or have a big website. I mostly just talk to people who come by the door. Some days are slow and I just sit on the stool and watch the street, but other days I don't even have time to eat lunch. People around here trust me because they know where I live and they know my family. I try to keep my prices fair so people keep coming back. It’s not about getting rich, it’s just about having a steady trade in the community. I like being my own boss even if it means I have to fix the roof myself when it leaks. We stay busy mostly until the sun goes down and then it is finally quiet.
