New Ganpati Enterprises

New Ganpati Enterprises is tucked away at House No. 46/118 in Hatia Soot Bazar. If you have ever been to General Ganj, you know how packed the lanes are. It is a real squeeze with the rickshaws and people carrying big bundles of cloth on their heads. Our place is right near the main Hatia Soot Bazar area. It is an old building, and the stairs are a bit narrow and steep. We deal with textiles and threads mostly, since that is what this whole bazar is known for. The air is full of lint and the constant sound of people bargaining outside. We do not have a fancy reception area. It is just a room filled with sacks and rolls of cloth. We sit on cushions on the floor while we talk to the buyers. It is the old way of doing business in Kanpur. The chai wallah comes by every hour, and that is usually when we take a short break. We have a big ledger where we write down the sales with a blue ballpoint pen. It is noisy and messy, but there is a lot of energy in this part of town. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to use flashlights to find specific items in the back. We have been in this bazar for a long time. Everyone knows everyone else's business here. We just focus on getting the right goods to the right people and keeping the stock moving through the narrow streets.
