Regal Chemist

We spend most of our time here at Shop No 43 in the Shree Ram Industrial Estate. It’s tucked back in the Anup Mills Compound in Kothrud. Most days are just about organizing the shelves and making sure we have what people are looking for when they walk in. It gets a bit busy around here because of all the other industrial units, so there’s always someone stopping by. We’ve been at this spot for a while now. The space isn’t huge but it fits all the medicine cabinets we need. Sometimes the delivery trucks take up the whole lane outside, but that's just how it is in this part of Pune. We open up early and stay until the evening. It’s a lot of manual work, checking stock and writing things down in the register. Most of the people who come in live nearby or work in the local factories. We don't have a fancy waiting area or anything, just a counter and some chairs. It’s a practical place. We try to keep things simple. If someone needs a specific tonic or a strip of tablets, we find it. The heat gets a bit much in the afternoons, so we keep the fan running full speed. It’s just us doing our thing every day. Nothing too complicated about it. We’ve gotten to know the regular faces pretty well over the years.
