Vipin Kumar & Sons

We operate out of F-15 in the S N Market near Lahori Gate. Vipin Kumar & Sons is a family business, like many others in this part of the city. My father started it and now we all help out. We deal in various goods, mostly things that come through the gate from the transport hubs nearby. It’s a busy spot, with trucks and carts moving all day long. Our shop is quite old, with high ceilings and shelves that have been there since I was a kid. We don't use fancy computers for everything; a lot of our notes are still written by hand in our books. It’s just easier that way for us. We know our customers well, many of them have been buying from us for decades. We don't have a big mission statement or anything like that. We just want to sell our goods and make enough to keep the family going. Sometimes the market is slow and we just sit outside on plastic chairs talking to the neighbors. Other times, it’s so busy we don't even have time to eat lunch. We take things as they come. It’s a bit messy and disorganized sometimes, but we always find what a customer is looking for in the end. It’s just a normal shop in a normal market. We've been here for years and hope to be here for many more to come.
