M. K. Traders

M. K. Traders is based right in the middle of the New Sabji Mandi in Kapurthala. If you have ever been to a vegetable market early in the morning, you know exactly what it is like. It is loud, crowded, and there is always something happening. We start our day while most people are still sleeping. The air is fresh then, before the heat of the day kicks in. We have been part of the Kapurthala market scene for a long time. Our space at the Mandi is simple. We have some crates, a couple of scales, and a small area where we keep our records. It’s not the kind of place you’d find in a corporate park. It is a place of work. We deal with people from all over the area. Sometimes the market is full of mud if it rained overnight, but you just put on your boots and get to it. M. K. Traders doesn't have a website or a big advertising budget. We just rely on being here every day and doing what we say we will do. We drink a lot of tea with the other traders and talk about how the prices are moving. It’s a busy life, but it’s a good one. You get to know everyone in the Mandi after a while.
