Kpt Sainath Spices

Shop No. 479 in Khari Baoli is where you will find Kpt Sainath Spices. If you’ve ever been to this part of the city, you know how crowded and loud it is. It’s a mess of people, handcarts, and bags of spices everywhere. Our shop is just one small part of that big maze. We’ve been here for quite some time. The walls are old and the ceiling is high. We keep sacks of spices piled up nearly to the top. There isn't much room to move around once a few customers come in. We don't have air conditioning or anything fancy. We just have a couple of fans that move the spicy air around. Dealing with the heat and the crowds is just part of the job. We know the other shopkeepers on the lane. We shout to each other over the noise of the street. It’s a very old way of doing business. We write everything down in big notebooks. We don't use fancy computers for every little thing. The smell of cumin and coriander is so strong it stays in your hair all day. It’s a busy life. From the moment we open the shutters until we close them at night, it’s just non-stop moving and talking. That is just how Khari Baoli works, and we are right in the middle of it, doing what we do every day.
