Ram Niwas Priyanka Kumar

Ram Niwas Priyanka Kumar is tucked away at 2644 in Naya Bazar, right near Nai Sarak. If you know this part of Delhi, you know how narrow the lanes are and how busy it gets with all the porters and carts. Our shop has been in the family for a good while. It’s a small space, but we make it work. We spend most of our day talking to regular customers and writing out receipts by hand. There is no air conditioning, just a couple of ceiling fans that have been there forever. We don't have a marketing team or a fancy logo. We just have our name on the board outside. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are usually too busy to get around to it. Naya Bazar is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. We hear the news of the market while we sip our tea. It is a very traditional way of doing things, and we like it that way. We don't try to be something we're not. We just sell what we have and keep track of the stock as best as we can. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just keep working by the light from the doorway. It’s a humble setup, but it has been enough for us all these years.
