Gopal Trading Company

Up on the first floor at 4119/5 in Naya Bazar, you will find the Gopal Trading Company. Naya Bazar is always a mess of people and carts, so getting up the stairs to our office can be a bit of a challenge on some days. The building is quite old, and you can feel that age in the thick walls and the narrow hallways. We have got a lot of stock piled up in the corners, and the desks are usually covered in papers and notebooks. It is not the kind of place where you would bring someone for a fancy lunch, but it is where we do our trading and it works. We have been here for quite a while now. The sounds of the market below never really stop during the day, but you get used to it after a week or two of working here. We do not use much technology besides the very basics. Most of our work is done through talking to people and keeping track of things in our physical books. It is a bit dusty, and the light is not the best, but it is our space. We know the other traders nearby, and we have seen the market change over the decades. Sometimes the rain leaks in a little near the window, so we just move the chair. We do not have a mission statement. We just show up and work.
