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.”

“We Americans are supposed to be overly concerned about the child. But actually the intelligent care of children in our society is balanced by a crass indifference to the helplessness of infancy and youth. Cruelty to children has become more widespread but less noticed in the general unrest, the constant migration, the family disintegration, and the other manifestations of a civilization that has been torn away from its original moorings.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
