Sri Narayan Shetty

My name is Narayan Shetty and I have a spot in Sion, right near the Sudher Novelty Store. It’s at Gate No 2 in Sardar Nagar No 1, which is part of the Sion Koliwada area. If you know Mumbai, you know Koliwada is a place with a lot of history and very narrow lanes. It’s always lively here. My setup is quite small and sits right in the middle of all the action. I’ve been here for many years, watching the kids grow up and the old shops change hands. I don't really do any marketing or promotion. Most people just walk by and see the name or hear about me from a neighbor. The Sudher Novelty Store is a good landmark because everyone knows it. I spend most of my day sitting here, handling whatever tasks are on the list for that day. It’s not a fancy life, but it’s honest work. Sometimes it gets really hot in the summer and the fan doesn't do much, but we manage. I don't have a big corporate philosophy. I just believe in showing up and doing what I said I would do. The people in Sardar Nagar are good people, and we all look out for each other. If you are looking for me, just head towards Gate 2. It’s a busy place but you’ll find it eventually if you ask around for Narayan. That's just how we do it here in Sion.
