Dress Up India Pvt. Ltd.

Down in Sector 5 at IMT Manesar, the vibe is a bit different from a regular market. We are at No. 94-b. It’s more of a place where things get done rather than a fancy shopfront. The building is functional, mostly concrete and metal. We have our offices and the garment area for Dress Up India Pvt. Ltd. all in one go. You can hear the hum of the machines and the sounds of the industrial estate outside. There’s a lot of movement with boxes being loaded and unloaded throughout the day. I spend a lot of time on my feet, walking between the storage and the desk. It’s not a place where many walk-in customers just wander in, since we are a bit out of the way. We usually have our hands full with orders and checking the finished pieces for any loose threads or mistakes. The tea guy comes around twice a day, and that’s when most of us take a break. Manesar gets very dusty because of all the construction and the factories around here, so we are constantly cleaning the surfaces. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do. The space is large enough that we don’t feel cramped, which is good. We’ve been here for a while and the routine is pretty much the same every week. It’s about getting the garments ready and out the door to wherever they are supposed to go next.
