Rangan Agency

Rangan Agency is located at 10, Madurai Main Road in Manapparai. Being on the main road means we see a lot of people passing through on their way to other towns. The dust from the road settles on everything, so we are always wiping down the counters and the chairs. It is a noisy spot, but we like the energy of it. Inside, it’s a bit dark because the building is old and doesn't have many windows. We have some heavy metal cupboards where we store all the important documents. My father started this and now a few of us keep it going. We don't have a website or any fancy advertisements. Usually, people just know Rangan Agency by word of mouth. We deal with a lot of local farmers and small shop owners from the villages around Manapparai. Sometimes they sit with us for an hour just talking about the weather or the crops before we get down to business. We don't mind the slow pace of conversation. It feels more natural that way. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit, but it keeps the air moving during the hot afternoons. We have a small backyard where we park our scooters and sometimes eat our tiffin. It’s a very basic setup, but it has worked for us for a long time now. We plan to stay right here on Madurai Main Road.
