Akshaya Traders

Our place is located at No. 47 on the first floor over in the Sara Iron Market. If you know Ranigunj, you know it can get pretty crowded and loud with all the trucks and loading going on. We’ve been operating Akshaya Traders from this spot for some time. It's a practical setup, mostly just desks and stacks of paperwork and samples. The iron market is a gritty place, but it’s where the business happens. We spend most of our mornings checking inventory and talking to people who come up the stairs. It’s not the kind of office where you’d expect fancy carpets or anything like that. We deal with various trading goods and the phone stays busy throughout the day. Usually, there’s tea being passed around at least twice a afternoon. It's just a few of us here making sure orders go out and the records stay mostly straight. Sometimes the heat in the market is a bit much, but the fans keep things okay. We chose Ranigunj because it’s central for what we do. It makes sense to be where the suppliers and other traders are. We don't spend much time on fancy websites or advertising. Word of mouth usually brings people to our door on the first floor. It’s a simple life, just buying and selling and keeping the books balanced as best as we can. We’re usually here until late evening when the market starts to quiet down.
