Ravi Spares

Ravi Spares is situated at No 206 on 19th Cross in the Chenappa Layout area. It’s right near the Tumkur Katte part of town. The shop is basically just rows and rows of shelving filled with every kind of spare part you could think of. We’ve tried to organize it, but sometimes it feels like only we know exactly where everything is hidden. It’s a bit of a dusty job, handling metal parts all day, so we aren't usually looking our best. But that’s fine with us. People come to us when something breaks and they need a quick fix. We spend a lot of time looking through catalogs or checking the back room to see if we have an old part that’s hard to find. It’s a lot of talking to customers and trying to figure out exactly what they need based on a broken piece they brought in. The 19th Cross can get a bit congested with deliveries, but it’s a lively place to be. We have a small staff, and we all pitch in with everything, from cleaning the floors to dealing with the suppliers. We don't have any big corporate goals or anything. We just want to make sure the shop stays open and we can help out the people who come through our door. It’s been our home for a long time, and we’ve seen the Chenappa Layout grow and change quite a bit since we first started here. We’re just local people doing our job.
