Delhi Mercantile Society (Urdu: دہلی مرکنٹائل سوسائٹی ) is one of the neighbourhoods of Gulshan Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
This neighbourhood was established by the Jamiat-e-Punjabi-Saudagaran-e-Delhi (Urdu: جمعیت پنجابی سوداگران دہلی ), a community of Punjabi-Muslim traders, originally from Delhi, India, who migrated to Pakistan after independence in 1947. The
The bulk of the population still comprises the Punjabi Saudagaran-e-Delhi, as the Mercantile Society's rules make it very difficult for other groups to purchase property in this locality.

“What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.”

“All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
