Sai Ram Kirana & General Stores

We run this kirana store in the Kancharapalem area of Visakhapatnam. It is a straightforward business where we sell groceries and household items to the people living nearby. The shop is not much to look at from the outside, but we try to keep it well-stocked with the basics like rice, oil, and sugar. Most of our day is spent weighing out items and packing them into small bags. We have been in this spot for several years and have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. Despite the changes, people still need their daily supplies, so we stay busy. The mornings are usually the quietest time, giving us a chance to clean the glass jars and sweep the front area. Once the sun starts to set, the shop gets crowded with neighbors coming back from their jobs. We do not have a big team, just a couple of family members helping out during the peak hours. Sometimes we run out of change, which can be a bit of a hassle, but our customers are patient. It is a simple life of managing inventory and talking to the locals. We know which brands people prefer and try to keep those always available. It is not about being the biggest store, just about being there when someone needs a packet of salt or some matches. Sai Ram Kirana & General Stores is just our way of making a living in Kancharapalem.
