Rachana Creation

Rachana Creation is based in S-105, which is in the B-Block of Sumel Park-1. It is a big industrial complex and sometimes people get lost trying to find the right entrance. We occupy a small space on the second floor where we handle all our textile work. There are rolls of fabric stacked up in almost every corner, and sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in. We spend a lot of time checking the stitching and making sure the colors match the samples we were given. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we try to keep a good rhythm going throughout the day. The light in the unit is quite bright which helps when we are looking at small details in the prints. We have a few sewing machines and a large table for cutting the cloth. It’s mostly women working here, and we talk about our families while we work. The lunch hour is the best part of the day because we all share what we brought from home. We aren't a big corporation, just a small group of people trying to get the orders finished on time. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait around for the generator to kick in, which gives us a few minutes of peace. It’s a busy life but it keeps us moving. The stairs are a bit steep when you're carrying heavy bundles.
