If you walk down towards Dakhnai Gate in the Taj Ganj area, you will find us eventually. It’s an old part of the city, so the streets are narrow and you have to be careful not to trip over the uneven stones. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a long time. The building is old and it stays cool in the summer because of the thick walls, which is a blessing when the heat hits Taj. We mostly focus on our daily output. There’s always the sound of someone hammering or the hum of a machine in the background. It’s not a quiet place. We have a small staff of five people who have been with us since the beginning. We eat lunch together in the courtyard when the weather is nice. Sometimes tourists wander in by mistake thinking it’s a museum or something, and we have to point them back toward the main road. The work is repetitive but we’ve gotten fast at it over the years. We don’t spend money on fancy advertisements. We just focus on what’s on the workbench that day. Our address at Dakhnai Gate is easy to find if you know the landmark. We keep the doors open to let the air circulate. It’s a bit messy with scraps of material scattered around, but that’s just how a working shop looks. We just do our bit every day and hope the traffic isn't too bad on the way home.
