Chand & Swati Ayurveda

Up here at 231 Mukharji Nagar, things stay pretty busy throughout the week. Chand & Swati Ayurveda is basically a room filled with the smell of old roots and ground-up leaves. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone telling us how to talk to people who walk in. Usually, it’s just us behind the counter, weighing out powders or looking for a specific bottle that got moved to the back shelf by mistake. The walls are a bit dusty, and the shelves are definitely starting to sag a little from the weight of all the jars we keep. Mukharji Nagar is full of students and workers, so we see a lot of different faces every single day. Some people stay and chat about their families, while others are in a big rush. We try to keep up with everyone, but sometimes the shop gets a bit overwhelming when it's crowded. We’ve been using the same old scales for years because they still work just fine. It’s not about having the newest equipment for us. It’s more about knowing what’s in each container and making sure the quality is what it should be. The floor is old stone and it’s seen a lot of foot traffic over the years. We don't mind the imperfections because they show we’ve been here a while. It’s a honest living and we just do our best with what we have. Sometimes we run out of things, but that is just part of the business.
