Prem Prakash Kailash Chander

You’ll find us at F-5 in the Surajpole Anaz Mandi, which is the big grain market area. The name of the place is Prem Prakash Kailash Chander, named after the folks who started it all. Working in an anaz mandi means you're always surrounded by the smell of grains and the sound of heavy sacks hitting the ground. It’s a very early morning type of business; we’re often here before the sun is even fully up to get things started. The space is filled with piles of wheat, dal, and other grains, and there is always a layer of chaff in the air that makes you sneeze if you aren't careful. We don't have any fancy displays or nice furniture, just sturdy scales and a lot of floor space for the goods. It’s a bit of a rough-and-tumble environment, and the language can get a little colorful when the traders are arguing over prices. We’ve been at this spot for years, and we know almost everyone else in the Surajpole area. It’s not a glamorous job, and your clothes are always dusty by the time you leave, but it’s honest work. We take the orders as they come and try to keep the flow moving so the trucks don't get backed up in the narrow lanes of the mandi. It’s just how Prem Prakash Kailash Chander has always operated.
