Akila Readymades

Akila Readymades is shop number 4 in Transport Nagar, Meerut. Being in the 250002 area, we are surrounded by a lot of warehouses, garages, and transport offices. It’s a very different vibe from a shopping mall. Our shop is small and practical, tucked into a row of other businesses. We mostly sell readymade clothes that people around here actually need. There’s a lot of grease and dust in the air because of all the trucks, so we have to be careful to keep the merchandise clean. We spend a lot of time standing by the door watching the big lorries go by. It’s a noisy place to work, but it’s always interesting to see who is coming and going from the city. Shop number 4 isn't very large, so we have to be smart about how we stack the boxes. We don't have a lot of room for sitting around. When someone comes in, we help them find their size, wrap it up, and that’s that. It’s a no-nonsense kind of place. We’ve got a small fan to keep the air moving, but it doesn't do much in the peak of summer. We know most of the other shop owners in this section of Transport Nagar, and we usually look out for each other. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just exist right here on the ground in Meerut, doing our bit every day.
