Jyoti Agro

We are located in G402 at the Serenity building, which is right behind the Oshiwara Police Station. Being in Oshiwara means it is always noisy and there is always something happening outside. Jyoti Agro isn't a huge operation. We have a small team working from this apartment-style office. It’s a bit cramped with all the files and samples we keep around, but we make it work for us. Most of our day is spent on the phone or responding to messages from customers. Since we are near the police station, we often hear the sirens and the general bustle of the neighborhood. It’s a practical location for us because it’s easy for people to find once they know the landmark. We don’t have fancy signs or a big lobby. You just come up and we are there at our desks. Sometimes the internet acts up, which is frustrating when we are trying to send out orders, but we usually manage. We handle a lot of the back-end work for agricultural trade here. It’s a lot of checking prices and making sure the logistics are lined up properly. We drink a lot of tea to keep going through the afternoon slump. It’s not the most glamorous job, but it is what we know. We’ve been in this spot for a few years now and have gotten to know the other shop owners and residents in the building quite well. It feels like a little community even though we are all just trying to work.
