Santanus Galleria

Santanus Galleria is located at 1 Avni Villa on Panch Marg. We are in the Lokhandwala area of Andheri West, right next to the Arshie Complex. This neighborhood is always bustling with people. We opened this place because we wanted a spot to showcase different items. It's a small space, really. We tried to make it look nice, but it usually ends up looking a bit lived-in with things scattered around. We spend a lot of time talking to people who wander in after visiting the nearby shops. It’s not a corporate environment at all. Usually, there is some music playing and someone is drinking coffee in the corner. We handle a variety of things here, and every day is a bit different. Some people think running a galleria is easy, but it’s a lot of manual work moving things around and keeping track of inventory. We’ve had some leaks in the ceiling when the monsoon hits hard, but we manage. We aren't trying to be the biggest name in Andheri. We just want to have a place where people feel okay stopping by. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for the weekend rush. We’ve been here for a while and the locals seem to appreciate that we’re a steady part of the street. It’s just us doing our thing every day. We aren't fancy, but we are consistent and we try to keep the lights on and the doors open. Sometimes we stay open late if the conversation is good.
