Yash Raj Traders

If you go up to the second floor of Akalgarh Market, you’ll find us there at Yash Raj Traders. It’s a crowded market, so getting through the ground floor can be a bit of a struggle sometimes with all the stalls and people moving around. Our space is tucked away, filled with all sorts of goods we trade. It’s not a showroom or anything like that. It’s more of a storage space with a small corner where we keep the accounts and a couple of chairs. We’ve been here for years, and the neighbors are all the same people we’ve known forever. We trade different things depending on what’s in demand, mostly just moving stuff from one place to another. The light in the hallway is usually flickering, and the floor is a bit uneven, but it’s home for us. We spend a lot of time drinking chai and talking to other traders about how the market is doing lately. There’s always someone coming in to ask for a price or to see if we have a specific item in stock. We don't have a fancy website or anything. Most of our business happens through word of mouth and people just dropping by because they know we’re here. It’s a bit of a maze to get to us, but we like it that way. It keeps things interesting. We just keep our heads down and do the work, day in and day out.
