Guru Nanak Trading Co.

You can find us in Chawri Bazar, specifically in the Kamla Devi Market. We are on the first floor, shop number 15. If you know Gali Raja Wali or the Peepal Mahadev area, you know how narrow the lanes are. It is a real challenge getting goods in and out of here sometimes. This part of Old Delhi is always crowded with rickshaws and people carrying heavy loads on their backs. Guru Nanak Trading Co. has been here for a while, and we mostly deal with different types of trading goods. The shop is packed with boxes from the floor to the ceiling. Sometimes it feels like we are playing a game of Tetris just to find one specific item for a customer. It is noisy outside with all the shouting and the bells of the rickshaws, but inside we just focus on the orders. We write everything down in big ledgers and keep track of who needs what. The fans hum all day to keep the heat away, but it is still pretty warm in the middle of the day. We spend a lot of time talking to other traders in the market because everyone knows everyone here. It is a traditional way of doing business, I guess. No fancy computers everywhere, just hard work and knowing your inventory by heart. We usually have tea delivered from the stall downstairs twice a day, which helps keep us going through the afternoon rush.
