Jagdish Auto Industries - Delhi

Jagdish Auto Industries has its home at 3434/1, Nicholson Road, right in the Kashmere Gate area. If you know Delhi, you know how packed Kashmere Gate can get with people buying and selling auto parts. Our shop is in one of those old buildings that has been there for decades. The ceilings are high but the rooms are narrow, filled with stacks of parts and old ledger books. We have been operating from this spot for a long time, and we know the street like the back of our hand. Nicholson Road is always buzzing with motorcycles and carts delivering goods. Our day usually starts with opening the heavy shutters and sweeping out the dust from the previous day. We don't have a website or a social media person. We just talk to the people who walk through the door. Some of them have been coming to us for years, and we know their names and what they usually need for their shops. It’s a very manual process here—we look things up in paper catalogues and fetch them from the back rooms. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right part in the piles, but we eventually get there. The tea stall nearby provides us with snacks throughout the day. It’s a bit of an old-school way of doing business, but it’s what we know and how we’ve always operated in this neighborhood. We just keep it simple and keep working every day.
