Ridhi Sidhi General Store

Ridhi Sidhi General Store is tucked away in the Basant Vihar area of Kota, specifically near Ganesh Talab at 2/21. It’s a quiet residential spot compared to the main city markets, which is why we like it here. Most of our customers are neighbors who live just down the street. They send their kids over to get a packet of milk or some sugar in the mornings. We’ve been here for a while and have seen the kids grow up. The shop isn’t huge, but we make use of every inch of space we have. We stock the basics that every household needs. In Rajasthan, the summers get really hot, so we keep the fridge full of water and soda for anyone passing by. Running a shop like this involves a lot of lifting and moving boxes around. It’s hard work, but it keeps us busy. We don’t use any complicated systems to run things. We just know where everything is kept. Sometimes a customer asks for something we don't have, and we make a note to get it from the wholesaler next time we go. It’s a small operation at 324009, just providing a service to the local community. We don't have any fancy slogans. We just open the shutters every morning and see who comes by. It feels good to be a part of the daily life of Basant Vihar.
