A.A. Associates

Our office is tucked away at Plot No 4275 in Gali Shahtaram, which is right by Ajameri Gate. If you know the area, you know how tight the streets are and how much shouting and honking goes on outside. A.A. Associates has been in this building for years. We handle various supplies and trading tasks, mostly acting as a middleman for people who need specific items but don't want to hunt through the whole market. The room we work in is small and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint. We have stacks of files going back a decade. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find corporate brochures or mission statements on the walls. We just drink our tea and handle the orders as they come in. Sometimes a shipment gets delayed because the truck can't get through the narrow lanes, and we have to go out and meet them halfway. It’s a bit of a headache, but that is just life in this part of the city. We know the other shopkeepers around here, so there’s always someone to talk to. We don't do much in the way of marketing. Most people find us because their father or cousin used to do business with us. It is a very simple, old-school way of running a company. We just show up, do the paperwork, and try to make sure everything is sorted before we close up for the night. We keep the doors open and just take it one day at a time.
