Mahabir Prasad Jain & Co.

Our place is right at Plot No 5288, over by Ajmeri Gate Chowk on G.B. Road. If you know that part of town, you know it is always loud and crowded with people and carts. Mahabir Prasad Jain & Co. has been operating out of this spot for a long time. The building is old and has seen a lot of changes in the neighborhood over the decades. We mostly deal with our regulars who have been coming to us for years. Inside the shop, it’s a bit cramped because we have so much stock piled up, but we know exactly where everything is. My father and his brothers used to sit here, and now it’s our turn to keep things going. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the other shopkeepers while we wait for the next delivery to arrive. The traffic outside never really stops, and the horns are just background noise to us now. It’s a busy life, but we like being in the middle of the city where everything happens. We don’t do much advertising because people just find us by walking through the chowk. It is a very honest way to earn a living. We keep our books by hand mostly, and we treat everyone the same whether they buy a little or a lot. It’s just how we do things at our shop on G.B. Road. We keep it simple and stay busy.
