Goodluck Traders / Maruti Traders (Gandhi Road)

Our place is over at 1 Dev Nivas Complex on Gandhi Road. Most people know it by the Dhinkwa Chowky Dhal, and we are quite close to where the old Lalita Factory used to be. If you walk down this way, you’ll see the hustle of the street. It’s never really quiet around Gandhi Road, which is fine by us. We run Goodluck Traders and Maruti Traders out of the same spot. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes with all the stock coming in and going out. We deal with a lot of different things, mostly trading bits and pieces that people need for their shops or homes. The walls are lined with boxes, and sometimes it feels like we know exactly where everything is, even if it looks messy to someone else. We don’t do much advertising or anything like that. People mostly find us because they were told to come here or they’ve been dealing with us for many years. The morning routine is always the same—open the shutters, sweep the front bit of the floor, and get the ledger ready. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we usually have the fan going full blast. We talk to the delivery guys and the neighbors more than anyone else. It’s a plain business, nothing too special about it, just hard work and making sure the orders are right. We’ve been at this address for a long time now and don't plan on moving.
