Back to business - Rohan's comeback in Mumbai
A bicycle repair shop in Mumbai needs help replacing a full set of tools after a long illness and repossession.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,775 views
For four years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Mumbai. In April, a long illness and repossession took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing a full set of tools: $370
• Initial stock: spare parts: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Rohan. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Rotterdam but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this, Rohan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Santos.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Belfast but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Belfast.
Sending love, Rohan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mumbai.
