Samrat & Co.

If you walk down Piprali Road in Samrathpura, you’ll find us right in front of the Samarthpura Government School. It’s a busy spot, mostly because of the kids and the parents coming and going at all hours. Our building isn't anything special to look at, just a practical space where we run Samrat & Co. We deal with various goods, and the floor is usually covered with plastic wrap or cardboard bits from opening shipments. The noise from the school playground is something we’ve grown used to over the years. Sometimes a ball even kicks over the fence and hits our door. We just throw it back and get back to our ledgers. The dust from Piprali Road settles on everything if we leave the windows open for too long. We have a small team here, just a few of us who have known each other for a long time. We don’t have meetings or big plans; we just look at what needs to be moved or sold and we do it. The tea breaks are the best part of the afternoon when things quiet down a little bit. We keep a stove in the back for that. It’s a basic way to run a business, but it works for us. We’ve been at this address for long enough that everyone in Samrathpura knows who we are without us having to say much.
