Aggarwal Mercantiles

Our office is up on the fifth floor of Jaina Tower 3, right in the A1 Block of the Janakpuri local shopping centre. It is a bit of a climb if the lift is acting up, which happens more often than we would like. The space is filled with desks, ledgers, and a lot of samples that have been sitting there for months. We deal with all sorts of mercantile goods, so there is always someone calling about an order or a delivery that is stuck somewhere in transit. Janakpuri is a crowded place, and being in the shopping centre means there is always noise from the street coming up through the windows. We have a couple of fans going all day to keep the air moving, but it still gets quite stuffy in the afternoons. Most of the people working here have been with us for years, so we all know the routine pretty well. We don’t spend much on decorating the place because we are too busy keeping track of the inventory and making sure the paperwork is sorted out. It’s a straightforward operation. We get in early, handle the daily trade, and head home once the shutters on the shops downstairs start coming down. It is just regular business life in a busy Delhi hub, nothing more and nothing less than that. We just focus on what needs doing today.
