P. Raj Company

P. Raj Company is right in the heart of things at 4900 Hauz Qazi Chowk. If you know Hauz Qazi, you know how packed and energetic it is. It’s one of those old parts of the city where every building has a story. We’ve been here for years, operating out of this spot. It’s not a large place, but we pack a lot into it. We deal mostly in hardware and industrial supplies. The shelves are filled from floor to ceiling. Sometimes it feels like we’re running out of room, but we always find a corner for new stock. Outside, the chowk is always a sea of people, rickshaws, and carts. It’s loud and it’s chaotic, but that’s the spirit of the place. We don’t have a website or a fancy catalog. If people want something, they come down, have a talk, and we see what we have in the back. It’s a very traditional way of doing business, based on knowing people and being here every day. We open the shutters early and don’t close until late. The dust and the noise are just part of the environment. We don’t mind it. Our customers are mostly regulars who have been coming to us for a long time. They know we don’t play games. We just give them what they need and send them on their way. It’s honest work in a busy world, and we're just part of the furniture here now.
