Karam Jot Company

Our office is situated in the Civil Line area, right at Garden Chowk. It’s a pretty central location, so we see a lot of the town’s activity right from our doorstep. The traffic around the chowk is constant, and you get used to the sounds of the city after a while. We’ve been here long enough that the building feels like a second home, even if it is a bit old and needs a fresh coat of paint here and there. Inside, we just have our desks and some old filing cabinets where we keep everything organized. We don't go in for any of that modern office decor; we just need a place that works. Our day is mostly spent on the phone or going through the ledgers to make sure everything is on track. We are a small group, so everyone ends up doing a little bit of everything. It’s not uncommon for us to be interrupted by someone dropping in for a chat or a quick question. We don't have any scripted ways of talking to people. We just tell it like it is and try to get the orders sorted as fast as we can. The tea usually arrives twice a day, and that’s when we take a small break from the paperwork. It’s a straightforward way to spend the work week, and we are quite content with the way things run around here. Most of us have been together for a long time.
