Maheshwari Traders

You can find us at 11 Ajay Complex which is on Khajane Walon Ka Rasta. This part of Chandpole Bazar is always humming with activity. We are traders, so our day is mostly spent on the phone or talking to people who walk into the complex. The space is a bit cramped but we make it work with all the shelves we have put up over the years. We started this quite a while ago and haven't moved since. The name of the street translates to the path of treasure people but mostly it is just busy shops and scooters trying to get past each other. We drink a lot of chai during the day while looking over the books. Sometimes the deliveries are late because the traffic in Chandpole is so bad. We just wait it out. It is not a glamorous job but it is what we know how to do. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint but we never seem to find the time to empty the shelves to do it. We know most of the other traders in the building. We help each other out when someone needs change or a heavy box moved. It is a community thing. We just open up in the morning and stay until the shutters go down in the evening. That is our routine every single day. We don't have a website or anything like that, just our spot in the complex.
