Aggarwal Tent & Caterers

Running a tent business in Sector 40 is mostly about heavy lifting and long hours under the sun. We keep all our poles, colorful fabrics, and folded chairs stored at the F 245 address, and there is always something that needs mending or painting. When a local family has a function, our crew spends the whole day loading the truck with carpets and heavy metal frames. It is dusty work and our clothes usually end up covered in dirt by the time we finish setting everything up. Aggarwal Tent & Caterers is a small operation, so we all do a bit of everything, from hauling the cooking gas cylinders to making sure the lights are actually working. The weather in Noida can be tough on our gear, especially during the rains, so we spend a lot of time drying out the canvas and checking for leaks. We do not have a fancy office with air conditioning; it is just a place where we keep the supplies and answer the phone when it rings. Often, we are working late into the night to take down a setup so the street is clear for traffic the next morning. It is a lot of physical labor and the pay is just enough to keep things moving, but we like being part of the neighborhood events. We know most of the people around here because we have seen their kids grow up through all the parties and weddings we have worked on.
