S L R Mandi

S L R Mandi is over at 178, Virgo Nagar in K Puram. If you want to see us at our busiest, you have to come by in the very early hours of the morning. That is when all the goods are being moved and the whole place is full of energy. A Mandi is never a quiet or particularly clean place. There are wooden crates, burlap sacks, and bits of string scattered across the floor. We are constantly lifting, carrying, and sorting through everything that comes in. Virgo Nagar is a lively part of K Puram, and our location at 178 is right in the thick of it. My clothes are usually stained with a bit of dirt by the time the sun is high in the sky, but that just shows we’ve been working hard. We don't have fancy office chairs or air conditioning here. We just have a roof over our heads and plenty of work to do. The people who work here are like a small family. We’ve all been doing this for a long time. You get to know the delivery drivers and the local buyers who come in every single day. It’s a lot of physical labor, but it keeps you strong and alert. We don't need any big slogans or marketing plans. We just get the job done, sweep up the floor, and move on to the next day.
