Starling International

Starling International is based over on Gandhi Road in Tirupur. The address is 480 Gandhi Road, right in the Annuperpalayam area. It’s a very busy part of town and there’s always something happening right outside our door. We’ve got a decent-sized space here, but with all the fabric and the finished goods waiting to go out, it never feels like enough room. We handle international orders, which sounds like it might be very formal, but it’s actually just us in our shirtsleeves trying to make sense of the shipping dates. The phones ring quite a bit and there is usually someone shouting to be heard over the noise of the traffic outside. We don't have any corporate slogans or a big mission statement written on the wall. We just show up in the morning, check the lists, and start working. The rainy season can be a bit of a mess because the road gets muddy and it’s hard to keep the boxes dry during loading. We’ve lived in this town all our lives, so we know most of the other business owners on the street. It’s a community where everyone is doing something similar. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to do the work properly and go home to our families at the end of the day. It’s a simple way to run things, and it has worked for us so far for quite a while.
