Jay Maharashtra Mobile Shop

Our little mobile shop is over in Warje Malwadi. It’s not the biggest place on the block, but we’ve managed to fit quite a lot into it. Most of the day is spent looking at small screens and trying to fix buttons or charging ports that have stopped working. It’s a lot of sitting behind the counter with a tiny screwdriver in hand. People come in all day with phones they’ve dropped or ones that just won't turn on anymore. We try to be honest about what we can fix and what is a lost cause. The shop is usually a bit messy with boxes of spare parts and tools scattered around the workbench. We have some accessories hanging on the walls too, just the basic stuff people need like covers and chargers. It’s a neighborhood spot, so we see a lot of the same people coming in to top up their talk time or just to ask a quick question about their settings. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us, working in Warje Malwadi, trying to keep everyone’s phones running. Sometimes it gets crowded when three or four people come in at once, and they have to wait their turn on the small stool we have. It’s just how we run things here, day in and day out, one phone at a time, until it is time to close the shutter and go home.
