Premier Traders

You can find us at Jai Factory, specifically Door Number 22-7-712/1. We are right beside the Anwar Hotel in the Mandi area. Being next to a hotel means there is always the smell of cooked food drifting into our workspace, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how hungry you are. The Mandi is a chaotic place, especially in the early mornings when all the produce and goods are arriving. It’s loud, it’s dusty, and everyone is in a hurry. We fit right into that mess. Our space at Premier Traders is mostly used for storing goods and handling the daily trade. We don't have air conditioning, so we keep the big doors open to catch whatever breeze comes through. Customers come in and out, usually shouting to be heard over the noise of the market outside. We don't use any fancy software for our accounts; mostly just pens and paper and the old calculator that has missing buttons. It’s the way we’ve always done it. When the market gets too busy, we just hunker down and focus on the task at hand. It’s a tough environment but it’s full of life. We know the waiters at Anwar Hotel and the guys who drive the carts. It’s a community of its own here in the Mandi and we are glad to be part of it.
