Chatur Bhuj Aggarwal & Co.

Being at 2112 Khari Baoli means we are right in the middle of everything. If you’ve ever been to this part of the city, you know it’s a chaotic place full of the smell of spices and the sound of bells and shouting. Our shop is old, with high ceilings and walls that have seen a lot of history. We spend our days dealing with sacks of goods, weighing things out, and making sure the counts are right. It’s dusty work, and you’ll likely leave the shop with the scent of cumin or cardamom on your clothes. We don’t have a lot of modern equipment; we still use old scales and keep a lot of our records by hand in big ledgers. It’s the way things have been done here for generations. The street outside is always packed, so getting anything in or out is a major project. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the other traders while we wait for the crowds to thin out a bit. It’s not a place for someone who wants peace and quiet. We’re constantly moving, lifting, and talking to customers who come from all over. We aren't trying to be anything fancy. We’re just Chatur Bhuj Aggarwal & Co., trying to get through the daily bustle of the spice market and keep the business running like it always has.
