Ashoka Tent Industries

Ashoka Tent Industries is based at Hanumanth Nagar 2nd Cross 2nd Main 239. We’ve been operating from this spot for quite a while. Our work involves a lot of heavy lifting and outdoor labor. We have stacks of folded tents, bundles of bamboo poles, and crates of plastic chairs piled up in our storage area. It’s a bit of a maze back there. When there is a wedding or a local festival, we are out early in the morning setting everything up. It’s hard work, especially when it’s raining or when the ground is uneven. We don't have a polished office; it’s more of a functional space where we handle bookings and keep the gear. Sometimes the fabric gets torn or the poles get bent, so we spend time doing repairs and maintenance. We aren't a big event planning firm with brochures; we are the guys who actually put the tents up. People in Hanumanth Nagar know us and just drop by when they have a function at home. We have a couple of old trucks that we use to transport everything. They aren't pretty, but they get the stuff to the site. It’s a tiring job and our clothes are usually dusty by the end of the shift. We just try to make sure the structures are sturdy and that we show up when we said we would.
