Anand Buttons Ltd.

We have been here at No. 20- B/ 5 Ground Floor on Desh Bandu Gupta Road for a while now. It’s mostly about buttons here. People come in looking for specific sizes or colors, and we try to keep a good stock on the shelves. Sometimes the shop gets a bit crowded with boxes, but that is just how it is when you deal with thousands of tiny items. We spend a lot of time sorting things out and making sure the right orders go to the right people. It isn't a fancy setup. The floor is concrete and the shelves are old, but it works for what we do. My uncle started this and now a few of us keep it running day to day. We open up early and usually stay until the sun goes down, especially when there is a big delivery coming in. Dealing with buttons sounds simple but there are so many types—plastic, wood, metal—and everyone wants something different for their shirts or jackets. If you walk down Desh Bandu Gupta Road, you'll see our sign. It's nothing special, just a regular place where work gets done. Most of our regulars are tailors or small garment makers from around the area who know exactly where to find us. We don't really do much advertising because word of mouth keeps us busy enough. The ground floor location helps because moving heavy bags of buttons is easier without stairs. We just try to be helpful and keep things moving without too much trouble.
