Deep Enterprise

Being right by the Purani Sabji Mandi at Gandhi Chowk means things start very early for us. The noise of the vegetable sellers and the trucks unloading starts before the sun is even up properly. Our shop is just a small space in the thick of that market atmosphere. We deal with a lot of general goods and supplies that the local traders and families need. There is always a layer of dust from the street, and the floors need sweeping multiple times a day. We don't have much in the way of a back room, so what you see on the shelves is pretty much all we have at any given time. It gets very crowded during the morning rush, and sometimes you can barely move inside the shop because of the crates piled up near the entrance. We’ve been at this location for a good number of years, and we’ve seen shops come and go around Gandhi Chowk. It’s a busy life, and we don't have time for much else besides managing the stock and talking to the regulars who come in every day. The tea guy comes around twice a day, which is usually the only time we take a proper break. It’s a simple business, no big corporate ideas, just selling what’s needed and keeping the books as straight as we can in the middle of all the chaos.
