Guru Nanak Fruit Agency

Our place is Scf 5 in the Subzi Mandi of Sector 26. We also have that connection over at Tingre Nagar, but mostly you will find us here among the other fruit agencies. Guru Nanak Fruit Agency has been around this market for a good while. It's a hectic place to work, especially during the peak harvest times when the trucks are lined up all the way down Lane No 5. Our specific spot is near Survey No 36, and it gets quite crowded. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of what comes in from the farms. It’s not always easy work, and your hands get pretty dirty by lunchtime. The lanes around here are narrow, so there's always a bit of a squeeze when the carts go past. We have a small desk where we keep the ledgers and the phone, but most of the room is taken up by wooden boxes and plastic crates stacked to the ceiling. We don't use a lot of technology here; it's mostly just talking to people and making sure the crates go to the right place. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when the rain leaks into the front of the shop and we have to move everything back to keep it dry. But we just deal with it and keep going because the fruit won't sell itself. It’s a community of workers here in Sector 26, and everyone knows everyone else. We focus on getting the work done.
