Rajeswara Rao Tummala

Running a business in Vijayawada keeps you on your toes. The 520001 area is always moving, especially in the early hours. I’m Rajeswara Rao Tummala, and this is where I’ve set up shop. It’s not a large office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we can get through the daily tasks without too much fuss. I’ve been doing this for a while now, and the routine is pretty much the same every day. I open up, check what needs doing, and get started. Sometimes the internet is slow or the power goes out, which is just part of living here. You learn to work around it. My family helps out sometimes when things get extra busy. We aren't trying to be the biggest name in town, just reliable. Most of our visitors are people from the nearby streets who’ve known us for years. We talk about the weather or the local news while we work. It makes the day go by faster. I think staying local is better because you actually care about the people walking through the door. It’s simple, really. No big speeches or complicated rules. If someone needs something, I see if I can help. That’s about it for how we do things here in Vijayawada. It’s a decent life and the work is steady enough to keep us going.
