Deepak Traders

Deepak Traders is right by the Hiran Magri Krishi Mandi Gate, over in Sector -11, at 40-A. Being so close to the Mandi means we are up before most people even think about breakfast. The sound of tractors and trucks starts early, and we are usually there to open up the shutters while the air is still a bit cool. We handle a lot of trading goods, so there are always bags to be moved and invoices to be checked. It’s a dusty place because of all the grain and the traffic, but we don't mind. We have a small desk where we keep our books, but most of the time we are standing out front talking to the farmers or the transporters. It's a fast-paced environment where prices change and people are always in a hurry to get their loads moved. We’ve seen the seasons change many times from this spot, watching the different crops come in and out. Sometimes the sun gets really harsh in the afternoon, and we have to pull the shade down a bit, but the work doesn't stop. We don't have any fancy signs or big advertisements. People know us because we’ve been standing at this gate for years. It’s just about getting the trade done and making sure the numbers add up at the end of the day. Our hands are usually a bit dirty, but that’s just the nature of working at the Mandi.
