Gurdeep Singh

My name is Gurdeep Singh. I operate out of Payal on K R Road in Basavanagudi. It’s a well-known part of town. I’ve been in this spot for a good while. It’s a busy area with a lot of history and old trees. My setup isn't anything fancy. It’s just me and a small space where I handle my daily business. I didn't want a big office in a mall. I like being here on K R Road where there’s a bit of character. Most of the people I work with are locals from around Basavanagudi. We usually meet up for a quick chat and get things sorted. I don't have a big staff. It's mostly just me doing the heavy lifting. I keep a calendar on the wall and a notebook for my lists. Simple is better for me. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded in the shop when a few people arrive at once. We just make do with the chairs we have. I’ve lived in the city for most of my life, so I know how things work here. I don't go for using big marketing tricks. I just do what I say I’m going to do. If someone is happy with the work, they tell their friends. That’s how I’ve stayed in business. It’s a quiet life mostly, just keeping things steady at Payal. I usually close up around seven and head home. The traffic can be a nightmare at that time.
