This is Sushil Soni. He started out his career working in a factory in New Delhi where he was involved in making covers for box-style televisions. In 2005 he moved to Lucknow where he began work as a kabadiwala – a junk or scrap dealer. With a quick smile and a ready-to-chat attitude, Sushil works in Lucknow to this day, traveling the streets with his bicycle trolley and calling out his telltale “kabadi.” Sorting through any used household goods people bring out to him, he buys what he thinks he can resell as scrap and joyfully supports his wife and three children on his earnings.
