Guru Raghavendra Traders

At 63-96 in Attapur, Guru Raghavendra Traders is where we spend our days. This part of Rajendranagar is always busy with traffic, and you can hear the horns honking from morning until night. Our warehouse and trading space is basically a large room filled with whatever we are moving that week. We have a lot of heavy lifting to do, so we are usually pretty tired by the time four o’clock rolls around. The walls are a plain grey, and we have some old calendars hanging up to keep track of the date. We have a small corner with a desk where we do all the paperwork, usually with a cup of tea that has gone cold because we got distracted by a delivery truck. The floor is often covered with bits of twine or cardboard from the packaging we open. We aren't trying to be the biggest traders in the city, we just want to make sure the people who rely on us get what they need on time. Sometimes the heat in the afternoon makes the metal roof creak, but we just keep working through it. It’s a lot of manual labor and keeping track of numbers, but it’s what we know how to do. We’ve been at this Attapur location long enough that the neighbors all know us by name now.
