K N Traders

Being located right near the New Bus Stand on M B Road means there is never a quiet moment. We can hear the conductors shouting and the engines idling all day long. Our office at 17/501 is pretty basic. We’ve got some old chairs, a few filing cabinets, and a lot of paperwork piled up. Trading involves a lot of phone calls and checking on where trucks are. We spend a lot of time waiting for shipments to arrive and then more time making sure everything matches the invoices. It’s not the kind of work that looks impressive in a brochure, but it keeps us busy from morning until late evening. The floor is concrete and stays cool even when it’s hot outside, which is a small mercy. We don't use any fancy software for everything; a lot of it is still done in physical notebooks that we keep tucked away in the desk drawers. Sometimes the traffic on M B Road makes it hard for people to stop by, so we do a lot of our business over the phone or by heading out to meet people ourselves. We aren't interested in sounding like a big company because we aren't one. It’s just a handful of us here trying to keep the books balanced and the inventory moving. It’s a lot of repetitive tasks, but we’ve gotten pretty good at the routine over the years.
