Maha Dev Trading Co.

If you head into the heart of Chawri Bazar, you will find us at Building No. 2853/3. Maha Dev Trading Co. is on the second floor, right near the Peepal Mahadev in Hauz Quazi. It is a very old part of Delhi, and the streets are so narrow that you can barely walk sometimes, let alone drive. Our building is old too, with those high ceilings and stairs that have been worn down by years of people going up and down. Being on the second floor gives us a little bit of a view of the street below, which is always a sea of people and carts. We do trading, which means we spend a lot of our time on the phone or talking to people who climb up the stairs to see us. It’s a busy atmosphere, and the noise from the bazaar never really stops until late at night. The office is filled with samples, ledgers, and a lot of dust that seems to come in through the windows no matter how much we clean. We don't have any corporate branding or a mission statement on the wall. We just know the trade and the people in the market. It’s about being part of this community for a long time. We drink a lot of tea while we work and just handle the daily business as it comes. It’s a hectic life in Chawri Bazar, but it’s what we do. We just keep moving along.
