Arrow Publications Pvt. Ltd.

Arrow Publications Pvt. Ltd. is based at C 11/A and C 11/B in the Tsiic Industrial Estate. It’s a busy place with a lot of noise from the nearby factories, and we fit right in with our own set of sounds from the printing presses. Our daily routine is mostly about getting the layouts right and making sure the ink hasn't smeared on the latest batch of books. We’ve got a lot of paper stacks everywhere, and it can get a bit disorganized when we’re in the middle of a big run. The air always smells a bit like fresh ink and cardboard. We don’t have a big fancy office with a receptionist; usually, you just walk in and see one of us hauling a box or checking a proof sheet. It’s hard work and the hours can be long, especially when a deadline is coming up fast. We’ve been in this spot for years and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re too busy for that. Most of the people working here are from the local area and have been with us through plenty of ups and downs. We just focus on getting the books printed and bound so they can be sent off to wherever they’re going. It’s a simple, honest way to spend the day, and we don’t try to pretend it’s anything more than that.
