Purvi Traders

Purvi Traders is tucked away in Harlalka Bhavan, Office No. 10, at 164 Sitaram Poddarmarg. It’s a bit of a maze in this building if you aren’t familiar with the way the different rooms are connected. We share the floor with a few other businesses, so there is always someone walking past the door. The space is small, but it’s enough for what we do every day. Most of our time is spent tracking shipments and dealing with local suppliers over the phone. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who have been working together for years. The desks are a bit cluttered with files and old ledgers that we still keep around for some reason. On rainy days, the walls get a bit damp, but that’s just part of being in an old building like this one. We don’t use any special software to run things, just a couple of computers that have seen better days. It’s a very manual process here. We talk to our customers like they are neighbors, because most of them actually are. Lunch is usually brought from home in tiffin boxes and eaten at the main table while we talk about the news or the cricket scores. It isn't a high-pressure environment, but we stay focused on getting the orders out. Sitaram Poddarmarg is always packed with trucks and handcarts, so logistics can be a bit of a headache sometimes. We just take it one day at a time.
