Karthikeyan & Company

Karthikeyan & Company is based at 243 Nadar Street in Valappadi. It’s a local spot where we’ve been doing our thing for quite a few years now. Nadar Street isn’t the widest road, so it can get a little tight when there’s a lot of activity, but we like it here. We don’t really have a fancy storefront or anything like that to grab your attention. It’s just a plain building where we handle our business operations. The routine is pretty much the same every day. We open up the shutters, check what needs to be done, and get to work. Most of the people who come by are locals from Valappadi or nearby villages. We’ve known some of them for so long they feel more like neighbors than customers. The work involves a fair amount of manual tasks and keeping the records straight, which we do by hand mostly. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when the festival season comes around and the street gets packed. We don't bother with big slogans or try to act like we’re a huge corporation. We’re just a small outfit trying to do a decent job every day. The office gets a bit hot in the summer, so we usually have the fan going full blast. It’s a practical way to run a business, and it suits us just fine. We plan to stay right here on Nadar Street for a while.
