Santhi Health Foods

Our shop, Santhi Health Foods, is right at 11-10-12 on P.T.M. Road in Kotha Kota. It’s a quiet enough area most days, except for when the school nearby lets out. We’ve been at this address for a few years now, and people in the neighborhood have gotten used to seeing us around. We mostly deal with health-related food items, like seeds and special flours. It’s a small space, so we have to be careful about how we stack the bags. Sometimes it feels like we’re tripping over each other, especially when a big delivery comes in. We don't have a lot of employees, just a few of us who have been together from the start. We handle everything from cleaning the floors to talking to the suppliers. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We don't use any fancy machinery, just basic tools and our own hands for a lot of the packing. The walls are painted a plain white and we have some old wooden shelves that hold our stock. We aren't trying to be some big brand you see on TV. We’re just local people making sure that the folks in Kotha Kota have access to some good, simple food options. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until evening. Sometimes we stay late to finish up the paperwork, but mostly we try to get home for dinner.
