Salwans

Our shop is located at S 80-82 in Mahanagar, Lucknow. We’ve been here in the Gole Market area for a long time. It’s a pretty well-known part of the city, and it’s usually buzzing with activity. We open up every morning and sweep the front of the shop. Lucknow gets really dusty, so that’s a constant job. Salwans isn’t a huge place, but we have what people need. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us behind the counter. We spend our days talking to customers and keeping track of our stock. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, which is just something you deal with in this part of Lucknow 226006. We sit out front on stools when things are quiet. Gole Market has a lot of history, and we feel like we’re just one small part of it. We don't use any complicated systems for our work. It’s all very straightforward. We like the routine of being here. The street outside is always full of rickshaws and people walking by. We know the other shopkeepers around here too. It’s a community. We don’t try to be anything we’re not. We’re just a local business in Mahanagar doing our daily work. Most of our day is spent making sure the shelves are full and the customers are happy with what they find here.
