N. M. Friends India Nidhi Limited

We are set up in Shivdatt Gali, right inside the Retiya Bazar area of Raya. It’s a very busy part of Mathura, especially near Achru Ladhora where the shops are always full. We’ve been running N. M. Friends India Nidhi Limited from this little spot for a while now. The office is tucked away in a narrow lane, so you have to look for it, but once you find us, it’s a friendly enough place. It’s just a small room filled with ledgers and files. We don't have fancy air conditioning or modern furniture. We just have what we need to keep the accounts in order. Being in the middle of the market means we get a lot of people dropping in while they are doing their daily shopping. We like it that way because it keeps us busy and connected to what’s happening in Raya. Most of our work is done on paper because we feel it’s more reliable for us. We drink a lot of tea and talk to anyone who comes through the door with a question about their savings. Mathura is a city where people like to talk face-to-face, so we don't do much on the phone or over the internet. We just show up every day, open the shutters, and get to work. It’s a basic life, but it’s ours, and we’re glad to be part of the bazaar community here.
