Vasudev Gems & Jewels Private Limited

If you go down Gopigali in the Urdubazar area of Gorakhpur, you’ll find us. We are at Ramesh Chand’s place near Laldiggi. Vasudev Gems & Jewels Private Limited is a small operation. We don’t have a big storefront with glass windows. It’s more of a traditional setup where we sit on the floor and talk to people who come in. The alleyway is narrow, so you have to walk or take a cycle. It gets very crowded during the festivals. We’ve been part of this market for a long time now. We know the other shopkeepers and we all look out for each other. Our day starts early with cleaning the space and setting up the scales. It’s hard work and your eyes get tired after a few hours of looking at small details. We don't bother with fancy titles or big meetings. We just talk about what needs to get done and then we do it. The address is a bit hard to find if you aren't from around here, but most locals can point you toward Ramesh Chand's. We keep things tidy but it’s an old building, so it has its quirks. We don't have much to say in terms of big speeches. We just sell what we have and try to be fair about it. It's a family thing mostly. We hope to stay here for many more years because the community is good. The tea man comes by twice a day and that's usually our favorite part.
