Mallikarjun & Company

You can find us at Shop No 742 in the Muttagi Layout. We are in Sindagi, specifically near the Vijayapura Police Station, which makes it easy to give directions. If people get lost, we just tell them to look for the station. The shop is a bit of a mix of things. We have a lot of different goods piled up. It is a typical trading setup where we buy and sell what is needed in the local market. The layout area is still growing, so there is always some construction noise nearby. Our shop floor is quite large, but it fills up fast with crates and boxes. We have a few chairs for visitors, but mostly people just stand around and talk business. The walls are painted a plain white that has started to peel a little. It does not matter much to us as long as the roof does not leak. We spend our mornings checking the prices and seeing what has arrived on the trucks. The afternoon is mostly about dealing with customers from around Vijayapura. It gets a bit hectic when multiple people want different things at once. We do not use any computer systems for the stock; it is all written down in big blue notebooks. It works for us. We have been here long enough to know everyone’s name and what they usually need. It is just how we do things.
