Deepak Stores & Novelties

At Deepak Stores & Novelties, we have a lot of items packed into our space at B-8 Sulthanpalya Main Road. Being on Manorayanapalya and right by the Atmajyoti Ashram Road means we see a lot of different people every single day. It’s a neighborhood where everyone seems to be in a big hurry. Our shop is full of small things, from household items to little trinkets that children like. We spend a lot of time dusting the shelves because the road outside brings in a lot of grit and dirt. It’s a simple shop with a counter and a lot of racks. We don't have any corporate training or big manuals. We just learned how to run the place by doing it every day for years. Sometimes the inventory gets a bit mixed up, and we have to spend the whole afternoon sorting through boxes of stock. It’s not a glamorous job, but it keeps the neighborhood supplied with the things they need. We know most of the people who live on the main road and the side streets around the ashram. They come in for a quick item and usually stay to chat for a minute. The shop stays open late most nights because that is when people are coming home from work and realize they forgot something. We don't have a big marketing plan. We just open the doors and help whoever walks in with what they are looking for at the moment.
