Balaji & Company

If you head over to Rangapuram in Palamaner, you will find us at 6-55. It’s a small place, nothing too special to look at, but we’ve been here for a while. We handle a bit of everything that comes our way, mostly focusing on the needs of the local folks in this part of town. The shop is usually a mess of papers and samples, but we know where everything is even if it doesn't look like it. Most of the people who come by are neighbors or farmers from the nearby fields who need a few things for their daily work. We don’t have a big staff, just a couple of us who have lived in this area our whole lives. We know everyone’s name and usually end up chatting about the weather or the local news while we work. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find people in suits or shiny floors. We keep the doors open to catch the breeze, though that also means a lot of dust comes in from the road. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish up the books or organize the latest shipment that arrived on the truck. It’s just the way life is here in the village. We like the quiet pace of it and don't feel the need to change much about how we operate. We just do our bit and keep things moving as best as we can without making things too complicated.
