Gramshree Hastakala Producer Company Limited

We've been out here in Lilapur for a while now. It's a quiet spot in Daskroi, right near Ahmedabad. Gramshree Hastakala Producer Company Limited is basically just a group of us working together. Most days you'll find people busy with their hands, making things that actually mean something. The address is 289/1, so it’s easy to find if you’re in the neighborhood. We don’t have fancy offices or a big corporate lobby. It's more of a workshop feel where the work gets done. People come in, do their bit, and we try to keep things moving. We deal with local crafts mostly. It’s hard work, and sometimes the days are long, especially when we have a lot to get through. Living and working in Gujarat has its own rhythm. The weather gets hot, but we manage. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to make sure the work is solid and the folks involved are treated okay. If you stop by Lilapur, you'll see how we operate. It’s not flashy. There’s a lot of dust sometimes and the sound of tools. We just take it one day at a time. It's about keeping the traditions alive without making a big fuss about it. We’ve stayed at this same spot because it works for us and the community here. It's home for us and our craft and we wouldn't change it.
