R. Gopal Impex Pvt. Ltd.

Our office is located at No. 511 in Katra Ishar Bhawan, right in the heart of the Khari Baoli area. Being in such an old and busy part of the city means there is never a quiet moment. R. Gopal Impex Pvt. Ltd. has been operating from this single small room for many years. It isn’t much to look at if you are used to modern offices. We have a few chairs for visitors and a lot of old files stacked up against the walls. The smell of the spice market is something you can't escape here, but you stop noticing it after a while. We spend the bulk of our time on the phone or talking to people who drop in to check on their orders. There is no elevator in this part of the building, so we end up walking up and down the stairs quite a few times a day. It keeps us active. The electricity can be a bit unreliable in these old structures, so we keep some battery backups for the computers. We don't really do any marketing or advertising. Most people just know where to find us by word of mouth. We handle both imports and exports, mostly dealing with bulk goods. It involves a lot of checking weights and verifying prices. We usually have a glass of water or a cup of tea ready for anyone who comes by. The space is tight, so we try to stay organized, even if it looks a bit messy to an outsider.
