Vijay Fruit Agency

If you have ever been down to the Gultekdi area very early in the morning, you probably know how loud and chaotic it gets. That is exactly where Vijay Fruit Agency is located, right in the thick of all that market noise. We have been working out of Tilak Nagar at spot 680 for a long time, dealing with all the different kinds of seasonal fruits that come in from the local farms. Most of our days start way before the sun even comes up. The trucks arrive in the dark, and there is a lot of shouting and moving heavy wooden crates around to get everything sorted before the buyers arrive. It is definitely not a quiet or clean job, and our hands are usually stained or sticky by the end of a long shift. We are not some big corporate chain with fancy packaging; it is just a bunch of us here trying to move the produce as fast as it comes in so it stays fresh. Some months it is all about mangoes, and other times we are buried in grapes or whatever else is in season at the time. The market at Gultekdi is a world of its own with people everywhere and everyone trying to get their business done at once. We have our regulars who have been coming to us for years, and we know most of the other guys in the neighboring stalls too. It is a tough life with long hours, but it is what we know.
