Shuvam Watch Straps Pvt. Ltd.

Our workshop for Shuvam Watch Straps Pvt. Ltd. is located out in Village Vasa, near the Bishnupur police station in 24 Parganas South. It’s quite far from the main city buzz, which I think is better for focusing on the work. We make watch straps, so there is a lot of cutting and stitching involved every day. The air out here is a bit fresher than in the middle of Kolkata, though it gets very humid in the summer months. Our building is near the post office, so that’s how most people find us if they are visiting for the first time. It is a simple place with plenty of light coming through the windows, which we need for seeing the small details on the leather and fabric. Most of the people working here are from the local area. We start our day when the sun is up and usually wrap things up by the time it gets dark. Sometimes the roads around the village get a bit muddy after it rains, making it hard for the delivery vans to reach us, but we manage somehow. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that. We just focus on the straps and making sure the buckles are on straight. It’s quiet work, and we like the pace of things here in Bishnupur. It’s a good way to earn a living without all the stress of the city.
