Chopra Brothers

You can find us at Plot No. F-341, Road No. 17 in the Vki Area. Chopra Brothers has been operating out of this industrial zone for a long time. It’s not a pretty part of town, just a lot of grey buildings and trucks moving in and out of the narrow roads. We focus on the tea trade, and our plot is usually overflowing with bags and boxes that need to be categorized. The Vki Area gets really hot in the middle of the day, and the metal roof of our warehouse doesn't help much. We spend most of our time moving things around to make space for the next delivery. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and checking lists against what actually arrived at the dock. Sometimes the counts are wrong and we have to spend hours sorting it out with the suppliers. We aren't a high-tech firm. We use old scales and our own eyes to check the look and smell of the tea. My brother and I have been doing this since we were much younger, so we don't need a manual to know if a batch is good or not. It’s just a basic business, keeping the tea flowing to the markets and shops that rely on us. We stay until the last truck is loaded, which is often later than we planned, but that’s the way it goes here.
