Nalanda Enterprises

You can find Nalanda Enterprises over in Chander Nagar, specifically in the Jakariapur area. We are right near the Krishna Niketan Girls School, so during the mornings and afternoons, the street is completely packed with rickshaws and parents. It can be a bit of a headache to get our supplies delivered during those times. We’ve been operating out of this building for a few years now. It’s got a bit of a leaky roof when it rains hard, but we’ve put some plastic sheets up for now to keep things dry. We do a bit of everything here, mostly trading and small-scale assembly. It’s not a fancy setup. We have some metal shelves and a couple of desks that we bought second-hand. There are three of us who work here full-time. We usually have tea together around eleven and talk about what needs to be shipped out that afternoon. We don't have a website or a social media page. Most of our business comes from people we’ve known for a long time in the trade. We just try to be fair with our prices and get things delivered on time. Sometimes we make mistakes with the paperwork and have to redo it, but we always make it right in the end. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for when the school bell rings and the kids are all shouting and running around outside.
