Nikhil Exports,

Down in Erode, at No: 69 in Murugeshan Nagar, things move at their own pace. We are right behind Sooram Tex, so there is always the sound of machinery or trucks nearby. Nikhil Exports has been operating out of this spot for quite a while. S/O. K. Neelakandan started things off, and we just kept going from there. It’s a dusty part of town, especially in the summer when the heat in Tamilnadu gets really intense. We spend a lot of time checking boxes and making sure everything is labeled correctly before it goes out. The area of Kumalan Kuttai is full of people doing similar work, so everyone knows each other. We don't have a fancy lobby or anything like that. If you walk in, you’ll likely see rolls of fabric or stacks of boxes waiting to be loaded. We have a few fans going all day to keep the air moving, but it’s still pretty warm. The workers come in early to beat the worst of the sun. We try to keep things organized, but on busy days, it gets a bit chaotic with all the movement. It’s honest work, and we don't make a big fuss about it. We just make sure the orders are ready when the trucks arrive. That’s the way it’s been since the beginning and we don't see it changing much. We just stick to what we know and get the shipments out.
