Srivaishanavi Apparels

Our place is Flat No. 64 on Madurpalli Cross Road in Jeedimetla. It’s an apartment, not a shopfront, which confuses some people at first. We chose this spot because it was affordable and close to where we live. Srivaishanavi Apparels is basically a few rooms filled with sewing machines and stacks of cloth. It gets pretty crowded when we have a big order to finish. The cross road is always blocked with trucks, so getting supplies in can be a bit of a headache. We spend a lot of our time just organizing the boxes so we can actually walk through the hallway. It’s not a place for a fancy showroom. We mostly handle things for local vendors. My cousin helps with the cutting, and we have a few others who come in during the day. We try to keep the windows open for a breeze, but Jeedimetla can be quite dusty. We don't have a website or anything like that. People usually find us by word of mouth or by spotting the address on a delivery slip. Sometimes the lift in the building breaks down, and we have to carry everything up the stairs. It’s hard work, but we are used to it by now. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep things lively while we work. It’s a humble setup, but it keeps us busy and pays the bills for everyone involved.
