Madhav Trading Company

Our shop is number 1/5 in the Shri Hari Complex. We are located right on the Madhapur Highway in the Kutch district. Being on the highway means we see a lot of long-distance trucks and travelers stopping by. We are directly opposite the Deepak Petrol Pump, which is where most people get their bearings when they are looking for us. The Shri Hari Complex is a busy spot with several different types of businesses. Our part of the shop is usually filled with the various goods we trade. It’s a hot part of the country, so the sun beats down on the highway all day long. We have a simple desk and some chairs for when people want to sit and talk business. The walls are painted a plain color and we have some old calendars hanging up. There isn’t much in the way of style here; it’s all about the items we have for sale. We spend a lot of time on the phone or talking to drivers who bring in the loads. Kutch is a wide-open place and being on the highway feels like being at the center of everything. We don’t use any complicated systems to run things. We just keep track of what comes in and what goes out. It’s a lot of manual work and the dust from the road is a constant companion, but we’ve made a good life for ourselves here in this complex. We close up when the sun starts to set.
