Vaastra

We are situated at No. 28 on the Chandigarh Main Road in Madhyamgram. Our place is right beside the Chandigarh United Athletic Club, which makes us pretty easy to find if you know the neighborhood. Vaastra is a small operation that we run out of this space. It’s mostly filled with stacks of clothes and textiles since that’s what we deal with. The main road is always loud with cars and people going to the club, but we just stay focused on what we’re doing inside. We don't have a big fancy showroom. Instead, we have shelves and racks where everything is kept. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes when we get a new batch of stock in. We spend our mornings sorting through things and the afternoons getting orders ready. We don't really do the corporate thing. It's more of a family-run feel here, even if we aren't all related. We drink a lot of tea and talk about what needs to be done for the week. The building is an older one, but it has character and it keeps us dry when the monsoons hit. We like being near the athletic club because there’s always life around the building. We aren't trying to change the world or anything, we just want to provide good quality stuff to the people who buy from us. It’s a straightforward business and we like it that way. Most days we are just here until the sun goes down, making sure everything is tucked away and ready for tomorrow morning.
