Dalmiya Agarwal Co

Up here in the Old Market of Bacheli, things are pretty straightforward. Dalmiya Agarwal Co is right in the heart of the district in Dantewada. Being in Chhattisgarh, the pace of life is a bit different than the big cities. We open the shop early in the morning when the market is just starting to wake up. It can get pretty dusty with all the trucks and people moving around, but that’s just part of being in the Old Market. Our building is nothing special to look at, just a sturdy place where we keep our stuff and handle our business. We’ve known most of our customers since they were kids. It’s that kind of place where everyone knows your family history. We don't use computers for everything; sometimes a pen and a notebook are just easier for keeping track of things. We don't have a mission statement or a fancy logo. We just provide what people need and treat them fairly. The summer heat can be really intense, so we usually take a bit of a break in the middle of the afternoon when it's too hot to do much. Then we stay open a bit later in the evening when it cools down and the air gets a little thinner. It’s a simple way of living and working that has served us well for a long time. We're just a local business doing our part in the community. Most days are long but we don't mind the work.
