M Kadirvel Mudaliyar Jaggery Mundy

Our business, M Kadirvel Mudaliyar Jaggery Mundy, is located at number 5 in Tpk Nagar. We are right on Katpadi Road, which is usually quite busy with traffic. We deal in jaggery, so the place often has that sweet, earthy smell that comes with the product. It’s a traditional kind of business. We’ve been here at Tpk Nagar for a long time, and the building shows its age a little bit, but it’s sturdy and good for our work. We spend our days dealing with farmers and buyers coming from all over. It’s a lot of physical work, moving heavy blocks of jaggery around and making sure everything is weighed correctly on the scales. We don’t have a fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s a mundy, a marketplace shop, so it’s meant for business, not for looking pretty. My family has been involved in this for years, so we know the trade very well. We don't use any complicated software or big marketing campaigns. We just know who has the good stuff and who wants to buy it. If you come by Katpadi Road, you’ll see us there. We usually have some tea ready and we’re always up for a chat about the market prices. It’s a straightforward life, and we like the rhythm of it. We just focus on getting the jaggery from the fields to the people who need it.
