Selling car tyres in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
Students arrive for professional courses and leave four or five years later, clearing whole rooms when they go, and a large share of families have members working abroad who send goods back or clear houses when they relocate.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.
Mangaluru, in Karnataka, has around 500,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
