Ginny Enterprises

Being at 444, Zeenat Bari in Kashmere Gate means we’re right in the middle of one of the busiest parts of the city. If you’ve ever been through Kashmere Gate, you know it’s a constant rush of people, rickshaws, and carts moving everywhere. Our place, Ginny Enterprises, is tucked inside this old building. It has a lot of character, though the stairs can be a bit of a climb when you’re carrying things. We spend our days surrounded by stock and the sound of the street outside. It’s the kind of place where you have to know exactly where everything is kept, or you’ll spend an hour looking for one small box. There’s no air conditioning, so we rely on the ceiling fans and the breeze when it actually blows through the windows. It’s an old-school way of doing business, but it suits us just fine. We see a lot of different faces every day, mostly people who have been coming to this area for years to get what they need. The coffee guy comes around every afternoon, which is usually the highlight of the day. We don’t have a website or anything like that; we just rely on people knowing we’re here at Zeenat Bari. It’s crowded and dusty sometimes, but there’s a rhythm to it that you start to appreciate. We just keep doing our thing while the rest of the city rushes by outside. It's a bit hectic but we like it.
