Tandon Exports & Import

Tandon Exports & Import is found at B- 742 in Lajpat Nagar. Being in this part of town means it is always noisy and crowded outside, which is just how things are in this neighborhood. Our office is on a street that gets a lot of foot traffic from the nearby market, so there’s a constant hum of people talking and rickshaws zipping past. The space itself is quite cramped because we have files stacked up almost to the ceiling in some corners. We’ve tried organizing it better, but new stuff keeps coming in before we can finish sorting the old. There are three of us who handle the daily operations. We share a long wooden desk that barely fits our monitors and the ledger books. In the winter, it gets quite chilly because the door doesn’t shut all the way, so we all wear heavy sweaters while we work. We usually get our lunch from one of the street vendors nearby—the parathas are good and cheap. We don’t have a sign that’s very big, just a small brass plate near the bell. People often get lost trying to find the block, so we spend a fair bit of time on the phone giving directions. It’s a bit of a squeeze inside, but we’ve been at this address for a long time and wouldn't really know where else to go. We're just a small team trying to get things done right.
