Shivaji Shawl Industries

We operate Shivaji Shawl Industries out of Plot Number 1 in Daim Ganj. It’s right across from Jaishi Maan School, which makes it easy to find because you can always hear the school bell ringing. We’ve been at this location for a long time. The building is simple, just a place where we keep our looms and the finished shawls. It gets pretty dusty with all the fabric fibers floating around, but that’s just the nature of the work. We handle the production and the packing right here on the plot. Most of the people working here live nearby in Daim Ganj. We aren't a big factory with fancy machines, just a steady operation. The shawls take time to make, and we don't rush things. Sometimes we have a lot of orders to get through, and other times it’s a bit quieter. We see the kids going to school every morning and afternoon. It’s a familiar routine. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we're more worried about the quality of the weaving than how the office looks. It’s practical work for practical people. We don't do much advertising; word of mouth mostly brings people to our door. If you find the school, you’ve found us. We just keep our heads down and get the work done. It’s a steady living and it keeps us all busy through the seasons without much fuss.
