Malik Seasoning & Spices (P) Ltd.

Being at 62 Naya Bans in Khari Baoli means you get used to the smell of spices real fast. Malik Seasoning & Spices (P) Ltd. is right in the middle of all that noise and dust. It’s a crowded area, but it’s where everything happens. We have been here a long time, and the building has seen better days, but it works for us. Our daily routine involves a lot of weighing and packing. You’ll find sacks of different things piled up almost to the ceiling. It is a bit of a maze inside. We don't use a lot of fancy computers for every little thing; we still rely a lot on our hands and our eyes. The air is always a bit thick with the scent of whatever we are processing that day. Sometimes it makes you sneeze, but you get used to it after a week or two. Our staff knows everyone in the lane, and we usually have tea together when there’s a break in the orders. We aren’t trying to be some massive corporation with a shiny logo or anything like that. We are just Malik’s, doing seasonings and spices like we always have. It is hard work and the hours can be long when the market is busy. We just keep the shop open and make sure the bags go out to the customers on time. It is just the way the spice trade goes down here.
