Srishti Book Distributers

You have to head up to the second floor of JMD House on Ansari Road to find us. We are in unit 202. It’s a busy building with a lot of people coming and going. We mostly spend our days moving books around and checking invoices. Being on the second floor means we do a lot of carrying boxes up and down the stairs when the lift is acting up, which is fairly often. It keeps us in shape, I guess. We’ve been in Daryaganj for a long time now. The office is pretty simple, just a few desks and a lot of metal racks for the books. We don't really do much in the way of decorating. It’s more about having space to work. Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic when three different shipments arrive at once. We just clear a path through the floor and get to it. We don't have a big staff, just a handful of us who know where everything is kept. It’s a lot of paper work and phone calls to bookstores. We don't have a polished website or anything, we just deal with people directly. It's practical work. Most people find us through word of mouth or by just walking into the building. It’s a bit of a trek up those stairs, but we've gotten used to it over the years. We keep some extra tape and rope in the corner.
