Deepak Traders

You can find us on the first floor of building 535, right in the heart of Shaniwar Peth. We are in office number 17, which sits across from the old Prabhat Talkies near the Radhakrishna A B Chowk. It’s a busy area with a lot of narrow lanes and a lot of history. We’ve been trading from this small office for a good number of years now. The space is a bit tight with all the ledgers and samples we keep around, but it suits our needs perfectly. We mostly handle wholesale stuff, talking to suppliers and keeping track of what’s coming in and going out on the trucks. It’s not the kind of place with a big lobby or a receptionist; you just walk up the stairs and we’re right there at our desks. The fan hums all day and there is always a stack of papers that needs sorting or filing. We know most of the other shopkeepers around the chowk, and it feels like a real community here. Some days are slow and we just drink tea and talk about the news, while other days we’re running around trying to get everything organized for a big delivery. We don’t do much fancy talk or use complicated systems. We just buy and sell and make sure our accounts are straight at the end of the month. It’s a traditional way of doing business that still works for us in this part of town.
