Mayfair Luminaires (India) Pvt. Ltd.

We are right in the middle of the Electrical Market at Bhagirath Palace, specifically at number 1550. If you’ve never been to Bhagirath Palace, it’s an experience. The lanes are incredibly narrow, and there are people carrying heavy loads of lights and wires on their heads everywhere you look. Our shop is one of many, but we’ve been here long enough to feel like part of the furniture. It’s a small space, so we have to use every inch of the walls to display the luminaires and fixtures. It gets very bright inside with all the lights on, which is a sharp contrast to the dimly lit alleys outside. We spend the whole day talking to customers who come from all over the country to source stuff here. It’s chaotic, loud, and very fast-paced. There isn’t much room to sit down, so we’re usually on our feet from morning until the shutters go down at night. We drink a lot of tea to keep our energy up. The building is part of the old Delhi charm, with steep stairs and thick walls. We don't have a website that we update or a marketing team. Our business happens through word of mouth and people seeing what we have in the window. It’s a messy, vibrant way to work, but we wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves in a quiet office. This market is where everything happens.
