Xo Footwear Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is at A - 124 in the Mangolpuri Industrial Area Phase No. 2. It is a busy part of the city and there are trucks moving in and out all the time. We make shoes here, mostly. The smell of rubber and glue is something you just get used to after a few days. We have been in this building for a long time and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are too busy to worry about that. There are many workers coming in shifts and the machines never really stop for long. It is a big space but it feels small because of all the boxes of soles and uppers waiting to be put together. We have a small office near the front where we keep the records, but most of the time we are out on the floor seeing how things are going. The noise is constant but it is the sound of work being done. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and everything goes quiet for a bit, which is actually a nice break. We are not trying to be anything we are not, just a factory that makes footwear for people to wear. The tea guy comes around every morning and afternoon, and that is usually the highlight of the day for most of us. We just keep our heads down and keep the production moving as best as we can.
