Monarch Sale Corporation

We operate out of Ramganj, right in the heart of R K Market. It’s a bit of a maze back here, and if you don’t know where you’re going, it’s easy to take a wrong turn. The shop is filled with all kinds of stock, mostly piled up in boxes that reach almost to the ceiling. We don't really have a system for where everything goes, but somehow we always manage to find what the customer is looking for. It’s a lot of back-and-forth, carrying items out to the front and dealing with the delivery guys who come by in their small vans. The air in the market is always full of different smells—food from the nearby stalls and the smell of cardboard and dust from the shops. We have an old fan that wobbles a bit, but it keeps us cool enough during the hot afternoons. Most of our day is spent talking to people who come in looking for specific items for their businesses or homes. We don't use any fancy computers to track things, just a big notebook and a pen that's always running out of ink. It’s a bit old-fashioned, I guess, but it works for us. When the market starts to wind down in the evening, we start pulling the shutters halfway and doing the daily count. It’s a long day on our feet, but that’s just the way it is in Ramganj.
