Praveen Prakash & Brothers

Praveen Prakash & Brothers has been around for quite some time at Gultekdi Delhi Gate 180. This is a family business through and through. You will usually find at least two of the brothers here at any given time, arguing about where to put a new shipment or how to handle a certain customer. We deal with bulk supplies, so there is a lot of heavy lifting involved. The building near Delhi Gate is old and has a lot of character, though the roof leaks a tiny bit when the monsoon is really heavy. We have high ceilings and old wooden beams that have been there forever. We do not use computers for everything; we still have the big physical ledgers where we track our sales. It feels more reliable that way. The floor is made of old stone and it stays relatively cool even when the sun is beating down outside. We have a lot of regular clients who have been buying from us for decades. They know our father and our grandfather, so there is a lot of history in these walls. We do not go for flashy advertising or anything like that. People know where we are and they know what to expect when they walk through the door. We just try to be fair and do our work without making too much of a fuss. It is a busy life but it is what we know. We close up when the sun goes down.
