Local basis, global screen
Akola sits in the middle of the Vidarbha cotton belt. We are close enough to the ginning yards to know what is actually pressing this week, and we price it against ICE and the rupee the same morning.
About
A cotton desk run from the middle of the crop
Gadhiya Enterprises brokers cotton FP bales and yarn across twelve states, and advises ginners, mills, traders and exporters on the price risk that comes with holding them.

“Cotton is a local market with a global price. The job is holding both in your head at the same time.”
The firm was built around a simple observation: the people who understand the physical market rarely have a firm grip on the futures curve, and the people who trade the curve have never stood in a ginning yard. A broker who can do both is worth considerably more to a counterparty than one who can do either.
From Akola, the desk covers the Vidarbha and Marathwada belts directly, with regional desks in Gujarat and the Punjab–Haryana belt and coverage extending south to Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and east through Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal.
How we work
Three things we do differently
The hedge fits the position
We do not sell a market view. We start from your open physical exposure — how much, over what horizon, against which benchmark — and work out what basis risk is left once the futures leg is on.
One network, not seven vendors
Warehousing, finance, testing and transport all run through relationships we already hold. A trade does not stall while four unconnected parties work out who does what.
The network
12 states, and a desk in the ones that matter most
Coverage means someone who knows the local arrivals, the local basis and the people on both sides of the trade.
