Guru Har Sahai Traders

Guru Har Sahai Traders is tucked away at 3976A in Naya Bazar. It’s one of those spots that you might miss if you aren't looking for the house number specifically. The area is always full of grain dust and the sound of bells from the carts. We started this business because my grandfather wanted a place of his own in the city. Now, we handle various trades throughout the week. The office is small, just enough room for a desk and a few chairs for visitors. We spend a lot of time on the phone, checking rates and making sure things are being shipped on time. It’s not the cleanest job, you end up with dirt on your clothes by noon, but it’s honest work. The neighbors are all traders too, so we all know each other well. Sometimes we sit outside and have tea when the market slows down in the afternoon. We don't use much technology here, mostly just paper and pens for our accounts. It works fine for us. Sometimes the monsoon makes the lanes muddy, which is a pain for the trucks, but we manage. We aren't looking to expand into some big corporation. We just like having our own place where people know they can find us. Every day is pretty much the same, and we are quite alright with that. It’s just a regular trading life in Delhi.
