Karthika Traders

Our shop is at 52, Azad Street in Vandiyur. It's a narrow street so parking can be a bit of a pain sometimes for the big trucks. We've been here for several years. It started small and we just kept adding more stuff over time as we found more space. We aren't experts at everything, but we know our products well enough to help out when people ask. Most of our customers are locals who have been coming to us for a long time. We try to keep the prices fair since everyone knows each other around here. The shop is a bit dusty because of the road work they are doing nearby lately. We drink a lot of chai while waiting for the morning deliveries to show up. Sometimes the phone rings and we can't find the pen to write down the order, which is a bit embarrassing but it happens. It’s just how it goes in a small place like this. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us working through the inventory. We have a lot of items packed into a small space. It might look a bit cluttered to an outsider, but we know where everything is kept. Vandiyur is a nice place to work, even if it gets very hot in the summers. We just keep the fan running and keep at it. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to do our bit. Stop by 52 Azad Street if you’re around.
