Rajesh General Store

Rajesh General Store is tucked into the Mahatma Phule Market area of Shukrawar Peth. Specifically, we are at units 1462 and 1463. If you’ve ever walked through that market, you know how packed it gets with people and goods. We have been here for a long time, and our store is filled with pretty much anything you might need for the house. The shelves are high and there’s stuff stacked in every corner we can find. It’s a family-run place, so there is usually one of us sitting by the cash box and another person digging through the back to find an item someone asked for. We don’t have a big sign or any of those bright lights you see on the main roads. Most of our regulars just know the way to our door in Shukrawar Peth. The market noise is just part of our day. We listen to the sellers shouting and the people haggling while we work. It’s a small space, and it can get quite hot in the afternoons, but we are used to it by now. We don’t spend time making the shop look like a boutique. It’s a general store, plain and simple. We just keep the inventory moving and make sure we have what people are looking for. It is just a regular life for us here in the market.
