Khizra Trading Company

Khizra Trading Company is tucked away at 9/2887 in Gurudwara Gali, over in Gandhi Nagar. If you know Gandhi Nagar, you know it is incredibly crowded and full of energy. The lane we are in is quite narrow, so getting goods in and out takes a bit of coordination with the other traders. We mostly deal in garments and textiles, which is what this whole area is famous for. Our shop is packed from floor to ceiling with rolls of cloth and finished pieces. There is barely enough room to walk sometimes, but we manage. We spend our days haggling with suppliers and checking the quality of the shipments that come in. It’s a lot of sitting on stools and drinking tea while discussing prices. The noise from the street is constant—horns, people shouting, and the sound of carts being pushed over the uneven ground. It’s a tough place to work if you aren't used to it, but we’ve been here long enough that it feels like home. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are and they come to us when they need stock. It is a traditional way of doing business, based on knowing people and showing up every day. We just keep doing our thing in the middle of the chaos, making sure the orders go out on time.
