Arihant Sai Trader

Our shop, Arihant Sai Trader, sits right in the middle of the bustle at 378 Tripolia Bazar. If you know Hanuman Ji Ka Rasta, you know it’s always crowded and loud. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a good while. The shop isn't huge, so we have to be really organized with how we stack our goods so we can actually move around. Most days start early before the heat gets too bad and the crowds really pick up. We sell a variety of items, mostly things that local people and other small businesses need for their daily routines. It’s a lot of talking to customers and checking invoices. Some people come in just to ask directions or chat for a minute while they’re out shopping in the bazar. We don’t have a website or anything like that; we just open the doors and see who comes by. Dealing with suppliers can be a bit of a headache sometimes when things get stuck in traffic, but that’s just life in this part of town. The building itself is old, like most things around Tripolia Bazar, so it has its quirks. We’ve got shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling to make use of the space. It’s a simple way to make a living, and we like being part of the noise and the energy of the market every day. It feels right being here where all the action is happening.
