Italia Glass & Pavit Ceramics

We've been here at Pondy Bazaar for a while now. If you know Doctor Singaravelu Street, we are on the first floor. It's busy outside, typical T Nagar. We keep a lot of glass and Pavit ceramics around. People come in looking for stuff for their bathrooms or maybe a new window. It’s a lot of lifting and moving boxes most days. The stairs up to the first floor can be a bit tight when we're bringing in new stock. We try to keep things organized but sometimes there's dust from the tiles. My uncle started this and we just kept it going. We have different patterns of tiles and some glass pieces that we cut to size. It’s not a fancy showroom with air conditioning that freezes you, just a regular place where you can see what you're buying. Sometimes the traffic on the street makes it hard to park, so most customers just walk over from the main market. We talk to people about what they need for their houses. It’s mostly local folks or contractors we've known for years. We just write down orders in our ledgers and get things delivered when the truck can make it through the narrow lanes. It’s honest work. Nothing too complicated about it. We just show you the glass, you pick the one you like, and that’s it. Some days are slow, others we can’t even sit down to have tea. That’s just how it is here in the heart of the city.
