Rashtrotihana Mudranalaya

Rashtrotihana Mudranalaya is located at Keshava Shilpa in Kempegowda Nagar, which is a fairly quiet area most of the time. We do a lot of printing here, so the sound of the machines is pretty much the background music of our lives. If you walk into the building, you’ll probably smell the ink right away. It’s a strong scent that sticks to your clothes, but you get used to it after a week or two. We handle all sorts of jobs, from small pamphlets to bigger books. The paper comes in these massive rolls and stacks that take up most of the floor space. Sometimes it feels like we are living in a maze of cardboard and white sheets. We’ve got a couple of old printers that need a bit of a kick to get started, but they still work better than the new ones sometimes. The staff here mostly just gets on with it. We drink a lot of tea to keep going, especially during the big runs when the machines have to stay on late. Kempegowda Nagar is a nice spot, and being at Keshava Shilpa gives us enough room to breathe. We don’t really do much advertising or anything like that. People just know we are here and they come by when they need something printed properly. It’s steady work and it keeps us on our toes every single day.
