G P Upadhyay & Co

Our office is at S-4 1298 in the Ridhi Sidhi Market, which is inside Kishanpole Bazar. It’s one of those old markets in Jaipur where the buildings have a lot of history. You have to walk up some narrow stairs to get to our unit. It’s a bit quiet up here compared to the street noise outside. We spend most of our time at our desks with a lot of papers and files around us. It’s not a very modern setup, just some wooden chairs and old fans that have been around for a long time. We handle a lot of the daily work that people need help with, like records and accounts. Sometimes the power goes out and we just have to sit and wait or work by the light from the window. The market downstairs is always full of people buying clothes and jewelry, but up here it’s just us doing our daily tasks. We usually go down to the street to get some samosas in the afternoon when we need a break. We’ve known the other people in this building for decades. It feels more like a small village than a big business market. We don't try to be anything we’re not. We just provide a steady hand for the folks who come to us with their work and hope the monsoon brings some cooler weather.
