Sairam Traders

Sairam Traders is right in the middle of T. K. Market, at stalls T 40 and T 41. If you have ever been to the market, you know how it is. It is loud, crowded, and there is always something happening. We have these two spots where we keep our goods and talk to customers. It is a lot of standing around and moving bags or boxes. We get here early in the morning when the market is just starting to wake up. By noon, it is packed. We don’t have an office with air conditioning or anything like that. It is just the market stalls. We deal with traders and regular people all day long. Sometimes we have to shout a bit just to be heard over the noise of the neighboring stalls. It is a very physical job. We spend a lot of time checking our stock and making sure we have what people are looking for. T 40 and T 41 are our small corners of the world. We’ve known the other stall owners for years. It’s a community of its own in T. K. Market. We don’t use any complicated systems, just a notebook and a pen mostly. It is simple trading work. The floor is usually a bit dusty and there are always people rushing past. It’s hard work, but it is what we do every single day. We don't have much time for breaks, but we like the pace of things here. It keeps us on our toes.
