Bhagwandas & Sons

Bhagwandas & Sons has been located in Dhanmandi for many years now. It is a traditional shop where we deal with wholesale goods. The market is always a bit chaotic with people and vehicles everywhere. Our shop is quite large but it’s mostly filled with bags and boxes stacked up to the ceiling. We spend our days talking to farmers and other traders. It’s a lot of talking and checking the quality of the items that come in. We don't have a computer or any modern office stuff. We just use the same old wooden desk that my father used. The air in Dhanmandi is always thick with the smell of different grains and spices. We have a small group of workers who help us with the heavy lifting. We don't really have a website or any social media. If someone needs something, they just come to the shop or call us on the landline. It’s a very straightforward way of doing business. We have seen the market change a lot, but our shop stays pretty much the same. We take a break in the middle of the day for a simple lunch and some tea. It’s hard work and the days are long, but we just keep the family name going in this market. We focus on the trade and ignore everything else.
