Darshan Sales Corporation

If you find yourself near Yamunamil Cross Road, right across from Vima Hospital, that’s where you’ll find Darshan Sales Corporation. We are in the Pratapnagar area, which is a busy spot with lots of vehicles and people going to the hospital. Being near Fine Marble helps people locate us too. Our shop is a practical space. We don't have decorations or fancy lights. It’s just shelves and counters and a lot of stock that we move every day. The noise from the hospital traffic is constant, and you hear sirens every now and then. We have a small desk near the front where we keep the ledger and a heavy stapler that’s been there forever. My uncle started this and taught me how to handle the customers. Some are easy to deal with, others want to argue about every little rupee, but that’s just the sales business. We get deliveries early in the morning, and the sidewalk usually gets blocked by crates for an hour or two. The floor is concrete and it’s got some cracks, but it holds up. We drink tea from the stall across the road, and sometimes the wind blows the smell of the hospital cafeteria our way. It’s not a glamorous job, but it keeps us busy from nine to seven. We don't have a big philosophy about what we do. We just sell what we have and try to keep the inventory from getting too messy.
