Gupta Trading Company

You can find Gupta Trading Company over at Agarwal Bagichi 5 in the Ratanada area. It’s a nice part of town, though the roads can get pretty narrow and blocked up during peak hours. Our space is filled with boxes and ledgers, mostly. We deal with a lot of different suppliers, so the inventory is always changing. Some days we are just counting stock and making sure the numbers match up in the books. It’s a small operation, just a few of us making sure orders get filled correctly. We’ve got a regular routine that starts with a quick cleaning of the front area. Ratanada is a good place to be because we’re close to everything. We don't have a big storefront with windows; it’s more of a functional space for trading. Sometimes the phone rings off the hook, and other times it’s quiet enough to hear the birds outside in the garden nearby. We’ve been doing this for years, so we know most of the people who come through the door. We don't go in for flashy stuff. We just focus on moving the goods and keeping the records straight. It’s a simple business, and we try to keep it that way without overcomplicating things. It is a lot of hard work but it feels good at the end of the day to see everything organized.
