Lakshmi Ring Traveller

You’ll find Lakshmi Ring Traveller down in Thiruvananthapuram. We’ve been operating in this part of Kerala for quite some time now. Our work is very specialized, making those tiny ring travellers that the textile mills use for their spinning. It’s small-scale precision stuff, but it takes a lot of attention to get it right. Our building isn't anything special to look at from the outside, just a regular place where we get the work done. The weather here can be quite hot and humid, so we try to keep the workspace as comfortable as we can for the workers. In Thiruvananthapuram, things move a little slower than in the big industrial hubs of the north, and we like that pace. We have a small group of people who have been with us for years. They know exactly how to handle the machinery and the metal. We don’t have a big sales pitch or a fancy office for guests. If you come by, you’ll just see us working on the current orders. The ring travellers might be small, but they are very important for the spinning wheels, and we take that work seriously. It’s a quiet kind of business. We don't make a lot of noise in the community; we just stay focused on our production. Most of our days are spent checking the metal and the final finish on the products. It’s a steady, honest way to make a living in a city like ours. We’re just a local fixture in the world of textiles.
