Lakshmi Narsimha Swamy

Our place is on Shanker Veedhi at No. 7-1-952. If you know the Darga on R.P. Road, we are basically right opposite that. It’s a landmark everyone knows. The street is usually crowded with people. We’ve been operating from this spot for a long time. It’s not a big corporate setup. It’s just a regular shop where we do our daily work. You’ll see us there most mornings opening up early. The atmosphere around R.P. Road is quite lively. There’s always noise and the smell of food from the stalls. Our building is a bit older, and the stairs are narrow. Inside, we have a basic setup. We don't have fancy lights or displays. We focus on what the customers need when they walk in. Sometimes things get disorganized when stock comes in. We just pile it up and sort it out later. Being across from the Darga means people are always passing by. We see a lot of the same faces every day. It’s a tight-knit community here. We don't spend money on marketing. People just find us. On festival days, the area is impossible to walk through. We stay inside and keep the work going. The walls have some cracks and the paint is peeling near the floor. We’ve talked about fixing it, but there’s always something more urgent to do. Our inventory is on old metal shelves that groan a bit when we load them up. We don't have a computer system.
