Navratan Agarwal

You can find me, Navratan Agarwal, over at the Surajpole area in the New Cloth Market. It’s a place that’s always full of activity, especially with all the fabric and textile trading going on around here. My spot in the market is pretty basic. I’ve got a space to sit, some room for the stock, and that’s about it. It’s not a fancy boutique with air conditioning and soft music. It’s a real market shop where you can hear the sounds of carts moving and people bargaining outside. The New Cloth Market is a maze if you don’t know it well, but Surajpole is a good landmark to start with. I’ve been working out of this location for quite some time now. My day usually starts early when the market opens, and it’s a lot of talking to suppliers and checking the quality of what comes in. I don’t use any big words to describe what I do. I just trade in cloth and try to keep my regulars satisfied. It’s a bit dusty and loud sometimes, but that’s the charm of a traditional market. You won’t find any glossy brochures here. It’s just me and the rolls of fabric. If you ever find yourself in Surajpole, you’ll see how it is. It’s hard work, but it’s honest, and this market is where I belong. There is no need for anything more complicated than a good piece of cloth.
