Ramkrishna Traders

Ramkrishna Traders is based in Yeshwantpur at 175/2 Kohinoor Road. If you know the area, you know how hectic it can be with the market nearby. There’s always someone unloading a truck or pushing a cart past our front door. We’ve been in this spot for a long time, and the building has seen better days, but it serves us well enough. Inside, it’s mostly storage with a small area for us to sit and talk to people who come by. We trade in different goods, so the inventory changes from week to week depending on what’s available in the market. It can get a bit disorganized when several deliveries arrive at once, and we have to scramble to find space on the floor. We don't have a lot of staff, just a few of us who know the ropes. Most of our day is spent negotiating prices or checking the quality of the items we receive from our suppliers. We drink a lot of chai throughout the day to keep our energy up. The walls are covered with old calendars and notes we’ve scribbled to ourselves. It’s a bit of a maze in the back, but we know exactly where everything is hidden. We don’t do any advertising; people usually find us through word of mouth or just by stumbling upon us while walking down Kohinoor Road. It's just a regular local business.
