Apsara General Store

You can find us at Bada Chauraha in the Parade area of Kanpur. We are located specifically within Shiwaly Market. If you’ve ever been to this part of Kanpur, you know it’s one of the busiest spots you could imagine. There are people everywhere and the noise from the traffic never really stops. Our store is a general one, so we stock all the usual household goods. We have things like toiletries, snacks, and basic kitchen supplies. The shop is small and the shelves are packed tight from floor to ceiling. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped when three or four people are inside at once, but we make it work somehow. We’ve been in Shiwaly Market for a long time and have seen the area change quite a bit over the years. Despite all the new shops opening up, we just keep doing things the way we always have. We don't have a website or anything like that, just our physical shop where people can come and see what they’re buying. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting heavy crates and counting items every night, but it keeps us busy. We see all kinds of people every day, from young students to elderly folks who have lived in Kanpur forever. It’s a very grounded kind of business. We just want to make sure the people in the Parade area have a place to get their essentials quickly without any hassle. It’s a humble shop in a very crowded, lively market and we like being right in the middle of it.
