Contexto cultural
In India, discussing business and 'profit-loss' is a common social activity. The use of the English word 'sales' reflects the modern shift toward Hinglish in corporate and retail sectors. It bridges the gap between traditional commerce and the new startup culture.
The Hinglish Edge
Don't be afraid to use English words like 'sales' or 'target'. Modern Hindi speakers do it constantly!
Grammar Check
Remember that 'sales' is treated as feminine plural in Hindi, which is why we use 'कैसी हैं' (kaisi hain) instead of 'कैसा है'.

What It Means
सेल्स कैसी हैं? (Sales kaisi hain?) is a direct inquiry into business performance. It is simple and effective. You are asking if business is booming or slow. It is the Hindi equivalent of asking "How's business?" or "Are you selling much?"
How To Use It
You use this phrase just like you would in English. The word सेल्स is borrowed directly from English. This makes it very common in modern urban Hindi. You can use it as a standalone question. You can also add it to a longer conversation about work. It is short and gets straight to the point.
When To Use It
Use it when visiting a friend at their new cafe. Use it during a quarterly review at the office. It is perfect for small talk with a local vendor you know well. If you see your cousin selling crafts online, send this in a text. It shows you care about their success. It is a great icebreaker for networking events too.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if someone just lost their job. That would be quite awkward! Avoid using it in very traditional, old-school rural settings. In those cases, use the word बिक्री (bikri) instead of सेल्स. Also, do not ask this if the person is a doctor or a lawyer. Their work is usually called 'practice,' not 'sales.'
Cultural Background
India is a land of entrepreneurs and shopkeepers. Business talk is a national pastime. Asking about sales is not considered intrusive among friends. It is actually seen as a sign of respect for their hard work. In modern India, English business terms are everywhere. Mixing Hindi and English (Hinglish) is the standard in cities like Delhi or Mumbai.
Common Variations
If you want to sound more traditional, say बिक्री कैसी चल रही है? (Bikri kaisi chal rahi hai?). To be very casual with a close friend, try काम-काज कैसा है? (Kaam-kaaj kaisa hai?). If you want to ask if the 'market' is good, say मार्केट कैसा है? (Market kaisa hai?). Each variation carries a slightly different flavor of the same question.
Notas de uso
The phrase is highly versatile due to its Hinglish nature. It fits perfectly in neutral and informal settings. In very formal written reports, prefer 'विक्रय' (vikray) or 'बिक्री' (bikri).
The Hinglish Edge
Don't be afraid to use English words like 'sales' or 'target'. Modern Hindi speakers do it constantly!
Grammar Check
Remember that 'sales' is treated as feminine plural in Hindi, which is why we use 'कैसी हैं' (kaisi hain) instead of 'कैसा है'.
The 'Bhaiya' Factor
When asking a local shopkeeper, add 'Bhaiya' (Brother) at the start to build instant rapport and get a more honest answer.
