Suryakant General Store

Our shop, Suryakant General Store, is right in Rasta Peth in Pune. We are situated just opposite Isha Vastu, which makes it pretty easy for people to find us in this busy part of the city. We’ve been in the 411011 area for a good number of years. It’s a typical general store where we stock all the small things you might forget on your big shopping trip. From soaps to snacks and basic kitchen supplies, we try to keep a bit of everything. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be careful about how we stack the boxes. Sometimes it feels a bit tight when there are more than three people inside at once, but that’s just how it is in Rasta Peth. We know the local families well, and we see the same kids growing up over the years as they come in for sweets or school supplies. We don't have any staff; we handle the counter and the cleaning ourselves. It’s a long day, starting early and closing late, but we like being part of the street life here. There’s always someone walking by or a scooter zooming past. We aren't trying to be a fancy boutique. We just want to make sure the people living nearby have a place to get their daily needs without having to go too far from home. It is a straightforward shop for the local community.
