N K Sharma

N K Sharma is based right in the middle of the chaos at Katra Neel in Chandni Chowk. If you know number 543, then you know exactly where we are. It is a very old part of the city, and it feels like it every single day. The lanes are narrow and there is always someone moving a cart or shouting about something. Our space is small, just like most places in this area. We have got shelves full of ledgers and a couple of old chairs for visitors to sit in. It is dusty and loud outside, but inside we just focus on getting through the day's tasks. We do not have a website or a fancy logo. People find us because their fathers or grandfathers knew us. That is just how business works in Chandni Chowk. It is about being here every day and doing what you said you would do. We drink a lot of chai to keep going through the heat and the crowds. Sometimes the electricity goes out, but we just keep working by the window. There is not any corporate polish here. We are just local people doing business with other local people. It is a lot of manual work and keeping track of things by hand. We like the history of the place, even if it is a bit of a struggle to get through the crowds some mornings. We just stay busy and keep at it.
