Shiv Shakti Seeds

Our office is right in the middle of everything in Connaught Place, up on the second floor at M-134. It’s directly opposite the Super Bazar, which makes it easy to find once you get through the crowds. Shiv Shakti Seeds has been operating from this spot for a good while. Dealing with seeds in such a busy urban area might seem a bit odd to some, but it works for us. The stairs are a bit steep, and the building has that old Delhi character that you just don't find in the new shopping malls. We spend our days on the phone with growers and distributors from all over. There’s always a glass of tea on someone’s desk and a stack of paper registers that need updating by hand. We aren't interested in being some high-tech startup. We like the old ways of doing business—handshakes and regular phone calls. The traffic outside is always loud, but inside we just focus on the quality of what we’re selling. We know how much a bad harvest can hurt a family, so we take the seed business seriously, even if our office looks a bit lived-in and messy. It’s a humble setup, but it’s ours. We don't have a marketing team or anything like that; we just rely on people knowing where we are and what we do. It’s about being reliable day after day.
