Aditya Finfab Pvt. Ltd.

Our place, Aditya Finfab Pvt. Ltd., is located near the police chowky in Das Ni Chawl, over in Saijpur Bogha. It’s a bit of an old-fashioned neighborhood to work in. There are a lot of small shops and houses all mixed together on the street. You can hear the kids playing outside and the motorcycles zooming past the chowky at all hours. The building we are in is practical and a bit worn down. It has to be, because we handle a lot of fabric every day. There’s always lint in the air and the hum of the machines in the background. We don't have a big sign out front, just the address and the name painted on the wall. It’s a local operation through and through. Most of the people working here live nearby, so they just walk or take a cycle to get to work in the mornings. We spend most of our time checking the quality of the cloth and making sure the finishing is right. It’s not clean, easy work—it’s dusty and can get very warm during the summer months. We have a small corner where we keep the records and where we sit down to have our lunch together. Sometimes the neighbors stop by to chat for a minute. We’ve been part of this street for a long time. We don’t bother with fancy office furniture because it would just get covered in dust anyway. We just focus on getting the fabric ready.
