R. M. A. Chemical Co.

R. M. A. Chemical Co. is tucked away on the first floor at 1362/5 in Pan Mandi. If you know Sadar Bazar, you know how crowded it gets. It’s a maze of narrow lanes and people carrying all sorts of goods. We’ve been in this spot for quite a while now. The building is old, and the stairs are narrow, but it has a lot of character. Downstairs, the market is always shouting, but up here on the first floor, it’s a bit quieter, though you can still hear the rikshaws honking all day. We deal with various chemicals, mostly managing the trade and distribution from this small office. There’s not much room for anything fancy. We have a couple of desks, a lot of ledger books, and a very old ceiling fan that clicks when it’s on high. It’s a family-run kind of vibe, even if we aren’t all related. We know the tea seller around the corner by name, and he knows exactly how we like our chai. Working in Sadar Bazar teaches you how to be patient. You can’t rush the traffic and you can’t rush the process. We just keep our heads down and handle the orders as they come in. It’s a busy, dusty, noisy life, but it’s what we do. We like being part of the old market scene. It feels right to be here after all these years.
