If you climb up to the 2nd floor of I-25 in Lajpat Nagar-II, you’ll find Trade Worldwide. It’s a busy spot, right in the heart of the market area. The name sounds like we have offices in every country, but really it’s just this one place with a few of us working hard. We handle things going across the globe, but our reality is much smaller. The office has big windows, which is nice, but it also means we see all the chaos of the street below. We’ve got a lot of boxes stacked up against the walls right now. It’s not the most organized look, but we know where everything is. Lunch is usually something we pick up from the market downstairs. We spend hours on the phone, sometimes repeating the same thing to different people until it finally clicks. It’s a lot of coordination and a lot of waiting. Our computers are a few years old and the printer jams once a week, but we make it work. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall. We just want to finish the day’s tasks so we can go home and do it again tomorrow. It’s a practical way to live. Some days we feel like we’ve accomplished a lot, and other days we’re just chasing our tails. It’s never perfect, but it’s how we do it here. We take a few minutes to chat in the afternoon, then it’s back to the paperwork.
