Gandhi Gramam Organics

Gandhi Gramam Organics is located over on Baner Gotri Road, specifically at 204 E-40/43 G. It’s a bit of a mouthful of an address, but once you find the building, we’re right there. Our shop smells mostly of dried herbs and some of the grains we keep in stock. It’s not a supermarket vibe at all. We have wooden shelves that we put up ourselves, and they’re usually packed with jars and bags. People from the Baner area drop by throughout the day, often just to see what’s new or to ask about where certain things come from. We try to keep things as natural as possible, which means things don't always look perfect like they do in a big store. Some of our labels are handwritten because the printer broke down months ago and we just haven't bothered to get a new one yet. It adds a bit of a personal touch anyway. My sister helps out on the weekends when it gets a bit busier with families doing their weekly shopping. We don't have a big corporate strategy. We just source things that we would want to use ourselves and put them out for others to buy. The traffic on Gotri Road can be a nightmare in the evenings, but the shop stays quite peaceful inside. We’ve been here for a couple of years and have gotten to know the regular faces pretty well. It's just a simple local shop.
