Ralekar Interiors

We run Ralekar Interiors out of Z.P. Colony, specifically in the Aman Khan Plot area of Shashtri Nagar. It’s a quiet enough neighborhood compared to the main market, which lets us focus on the work we have at hand. Our space is usually full of wood shavings and scraps of laminate because there is always something being cut or glued. We have samples of different materials leaning against the walls and catalogs that have seen better days. It’s a messy process, making things for people's homes, and our clothes usually have some sawdust on them. We don't have a fancy showroom with bright lights. Usually, people just come by the workshop to see what we are building or to talk about a cabinet they need. We spend a lot of time measuring things and then measuring them again just to be sure. Some days we are out at sites for hours, and the shop stays closed until we get back. It's just the way it goes when you're a small outfit. We don't use any high-tech software; mostly we just draw things out on paper or right on the wood itself. Shashtri Nagar has been a good place for us to set up. The neighbors are friendly and sometimes they pop in just to see what we’re making. We don’t try to be something we’re not. We just put things together as well as we know how and hope they last a long time for the people using them.
