Lakshmi Tent House

We are Lakshmi Tent House, located at Madhu Vihar A 57/1, right on the main road. If you pass by, you’ll probably see a lot of iron pipes and rolled-up carpets stacked against the wall. That’s our life. We don’t have a big fancy office because we are mostly out on the road. When someone has a wedding or a big party, they call us. Then we have to load the trucks with all the tents, chairs, and those big decorative cloths. It’s heavy work, and the weather usually doesn't help much. If it rains, we have to run to cover everything with plastic sheets. If it’s too hot, the guys get tired fast and we have to buy them extra cold water. We’ve been at this spot for a good while, so all the neighbors know us by now. The main road is always noisy with cars honking, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We don't do much advertising at all. People just see our name on the side of the truck or someone tells a friend about us. Sometimes we are up all night setting up for a function that starts at sunrise. Then we just sleep in the afternoon when it’s quiet in the shop. We don't have a corporate plan or anything. We just make sure the poles are sturdy and the cloth isn't torn before we pack it. It’s a simple business but it keeps us on our feet every day of the week.
