Indian Trades

The office for Indian Trades is tucked away at No. 5 on the 9th Cross of H Siddaiah Road. If you are coming from the Shanthi Nagar Bus Stop, it is only a short walk, though the sidewalk can be a bit tricky to navigate when the buses are pulling in and out. We have been operating from this little corner for a few years. Inside, it is pretty simple. We have a few wooden tables, some old chairs that creak a bit when you sit down, and a ceiling fan that hums throughout the day. It is not the quietest spot because of the traffic outside, but you get used to the sound of engines and people shouting. We usually get in early before the heat really builds up. Most of our time is spent on the phone or checking through files that seem to grow every week. We aren’t big on decorations, so the walls are mostly bare except for a calendar and a clock that runs five minutes fast. There is a small tea shop just down the street where we go when we need a break from the paperwork. The street is always full of life, with delivery trucks trying to squeeze through the crossroad. We like being near the bus stop because it makes it easy for the staff to get here, even if the noise is a constant companion. It is just a regular workplace doing regular things.
