Working as a Businessperson

Case -3

Harpreet and vandana:

Businesspersons

My father and uncle worked in a small shop. During festival times and on Sundays my mother and I helped them in the shop. I started working there only after I completed my college. (harpreet)

We open this showroom some years ago. I’m a dress designer. Our business has changed. These days people prefer to buy readymade clothes, rather than have them stitched. The trend these is for readymade garments. You also need an attractive display for them (vandana)

For our showroom, we buy things from different places. We buy most of the materials from Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Ludhiana and Tripura. Some materials also come from Noida and Gurgaon, towns near Delhi. We get some dress items from foreign countries too. There are several things we need to do to run this showroom property. We advertise in various newspapers, cinema teatres, television and radio channels. Currently, this building is rented but soon, we plan to buy it. Ever since this market has become the main market for people living in the surrounding apartments our business has grown. We’ve been able to buy a car and book a flat in an apartment complex nearby.

Like harpreet and vandana there are many people who own shops in various markets of the city. These shops may be small or large and they sell different things. These are permanent shops that are given licence to do business by the municipal corporation. The municipal corporation also decides on which day of the week the market has to remain closed.
