The Bombay Swadeshi Store

Our store is located in Pimpri, right near where the Dr. Beck company is. If you know that particular area of Pune, you probably won't have much trouble finding us. It is a busy spot, and there is always a lot of traffic and people moving about at all hours of the day. We have been here for a long time now, selling various things and talking to the customers who walk through our front door. It is a simple shop, really. We do not have those fancy automatic sliding doors or the bright neon signs that you see in the big shopping malls. We just have our wooden shelves and the stuff we sell. Most of the time, it is just us making sure everything is in the right place and helping people find what they are looking for. Some days are much busier than others, especially when the weather is nice and people are out walking. We get to know the regulars who live around the 411018 zip code. They often stop by for a quick chat as much as they do for their actual shopping. We try to keep things pretty straightforward here. We are not trying to change the world or anything; we are just trying to run a decent, honest shop in Pune. There is always something to clean or a heavy box to unpack. It keeps us on our toes and busy. We like the local vibe of Pimpri. It has a different feel than the city center, more grounded and real. That is us.
