Sai Mobile

We are tucked away in the Girgaon New Cloth Market area here in Raipur at Sai Mobile. Since we are near the cloth market, there are always people moving about with big bags of fabric, and the whole place feels very active. Our shop is mostly dedicated to mobile phones and the various things that go with them, like earphones and charging cables. It’s a compact space, so we have to be organized with how we display the different models and the second-hand pieces we have for sale. The floor is just simple tile, and we spend a good amount of time sweeping out the dust that blows in from the market stalls. It gets quite warm in Raipur, so we usually have a small table fan blowing right on us at the counter. We don’t really do any big advertising; people just find us because they are already shopping in the market for clothes and realize they need something for their phone too. It’s a lot of talking to customers and explaining how different features work. Sometimes the neighbors from the textile shops come over to chat for a bit during the slow hours. We keep a ledger for the sales and a small toolkit for basic repairs that we can do on the spot. It’s a straightforward life, just running the shop and being part of the daily market scene here.
