Shre Shiv Traders

Shre Shiv Traders is our small trading shop located in Sidnath Market. You can find us right near Hanuman Akhada Square, which is usually a very lively spot with a lot of people moving around all the time. I've been working out of this market for a long time, and I've seen shops come and go, but we’ve managed to stick around. We deal in various goods that we source from different wholesalers. The shop is pretty packed with boxes from the floor to the ceiling, so you have to be careful where you step when you walk in. I don’t have a big staff, just me and a helper who comes in during the afternoons to assist with the heavy lifting and deliveries. The square gets really crowded on festival days, and sometimes it's hard to even get a cart through the front door. We keep a simple ledger for all our sales and don't use any fancy computer systems for the inventory. It's more about knowing your stock by heart. I spend a lot of my day talking to customers and other shopkeepers in the market. It feels like a small village inside the city because everyone knows each other's business. We open early in the morning, around the time the first tea stalls start serving, and we don't close until it’s dark. There’s always something to do, whether it’s sorting through new arrivals or cleaning the shelves. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning till night.
