Vatsalya Enterprise

If you go behind the old Chirag Cinema in the GIDC area of Kalol, you will find Vatsalya Enterprise. It's an industrial area, so it's not the prettiest place to work, but it suits us just fine. We are quite close to Gandhinagar, but Kalol has its own feel. Our building is a bit gray and the paint is peeling in some spots, but inside we are busy making things. We don’t have a fancy showroom or anything. People usually find us through word of mouth or because they saw our gate behind the cinema. The noise from the other factories nearby is constant, but you stop noticing it after a week or two. We started this enterprise with just a couple of machines and a lot of hope that we could make it work. These days, we have a few more people helping us out, but it still feels like a small family business. We don't have big meetings or corporate strategies. We just look at what needs to be made today and we get to it. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to fix them ourselves, which takes up a lot of time. It’s hard work and the days are long, especially when the weather is hot and the metal roof heats up the whole workshop. But we like what we do and we plan to stay here for a long time. It’s just how we live and work.
