Naresh Kumar

Naresh Kumar is the name on our sign at shop number 40 in the New Cloth Market of Sector 22. This area is always packed with people looking at fabrics and rolls of material. Our shop is one of many in this row, and we have been here long enough to know all the neighbors. It is a small space, mostly filled up with stacks of cloth from the floor to the ceiling. We spend the day measuring out lengths and talking to customers who come in looking for specific colors or patterns. Sector 22 is a well-known spot for this kind of trade, so there is never a quiet moment. The aisles in the market are narrow and sometimes it gets a bit stuffy inside. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights, just the usual racks and a counter where we do the cutting. Dealing with the suppliers takes up a lot of our time in the mornings. Sometimes we have to move heavy rolls around to find what someone is looking for. It is physical work and the dust from the fabrics gets everywhere. We just try to keep things tidy and serve the people who walk through the door. It is a family-run kind of vibe, nothing corporate about it. If you find yourself in the New Cloth Market, shop 40 is where we stay busy every day.
