Madan Lal Motilal Gokal G. Sons

Madan Lal Motilal Gokal G. Sons is right in the thick of it at 20, Siyaganj, on the Main Kirana Gali. If you know the area, you know how busy it gets. The smell of spices and grains is everywhere, and it can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to the market life. We’ve got a long name because it’s a family thing, passed down from one generation to the next at this very spot. The shop itself at number 20 is old, with wooden shelves that have seen better days but still hold up everything we need. We spend our time weighing things out, talking to regular customers who have been coming to us for decades, and making sure the inventory is stocked. It’s crowded in Siyaganj, and the Main Kirana Gali is always a bit of a mess with people and sacks of goods being moved around on carts. We don't have a website or a marketing person. We just have our reputation and the people who know we’ve been here forever. Sometimes we sit on the small benches outside and just watch the world go by when things slow down in the afternoon heat. It’s a traditional way of doing business, and we don't see any reason to change it now. We just do what we’ve always done at 20, Siyaganj, and that seems to be enough for us and the people who buy from us.
