Rapport Creations

You can find Rapport Creations at No. 1/302-a in Kulle Gounden Pudur. We are out near the Periyandipalayam Post, right off Mangalam Road. It’s a bit of a trek if you’re coming from the main city, but it’s a nice area once you get here. The shop is a straightforward space. We didn't spend much on decorations because we’d rather have better equipment. There’s a lot of dust from the road that blows in when we leave the door open, but that’s just life on Mangalam Road. We’ve been operating here for a few years now. It started as a small project and just sort of grew into a full-time job for us. We don't really have a big philosophy or anything. We just wake up, come to the shop, and start working on whatever is on the table. Sometimes we stay late when there’s a lot to do, and other times we close up early if the weather is nice. It’s a flexible way to live. Most of our neighbors are also running small businesses or farming, so there’s a good sense of community around Kulle Gounden Pudur. We share tools sometimes or help each other out with odd jobs. It’s not the kind of place where people wear suits. We wear our work clothes and get our hands dirty. That’s just the way it is here. We like it that way and plan to stay for the long haul.
