Alba Chicken & Eggs Centre

Our shop is right on Rasta Peth H B Samaja Road, specifically at number 427 in Basavanagudi. It’s a place where the morning starts with the sound of crates being stacked and the arrival of the birds. We handle a lot of eggs every day and you have to be careful with them, though a few always seem to break no matter what. The shop isn't much to look at, just some counters and the cold storage in the back. It can get pretty loud when the customers start lining up and the traffic on H B Samaja Road picks up. We spend a lot of our time cleaning up because a chicken center can get messy very quickly if you aren't careful. People in Basavanagudi come to us for their weekly supplies and we’ve gotten to know many of them by name. We don't do any fancy packaging or have a website, we just write down orders in a notebook and hand over the goods. The work is physical and by the end of the shift, we are usually pretty tired. There are plenty of other shops around, but we just focus on our own corner at 427. It’s a basic business, providing something people need for their dinners and breakfasts. We just keep our heads down and keep the stock moving as best as we can.
