Kumud Garments Private Limited

We operate out of Sabalaka, near Kurujanga. Tapan Kumar Panda is who you’ll find here. This is Mahanga territory. It's mostly just about making clothes and getting them ready for whoever needs them. We aren't in a big city mall. It’s a local setup. We have sewing machines and a lot of fabric lying around. Sometimes it gets a bit messy with all the scraps on the floor, but that's part of the job. We start early in the morning when it’s still cool outside. The building isn't anything special to look at, just a place to work. We’ve been handling garments for a while now. Most of the people working here are from the village or just down the road. We talk while we work, mostly about local stuff. It’s a simple routine. You go past the post office and you’re basically there. We don’t do much advertising; people just know we are here in Sabalaka. If there's a big order, we stay late and put in the extra hours. It’s steady work and it keeps us busy. We don't have a fancy website or a big front desk. Just a room full of thread and cloth and people trying to do a job every day. There are about ten of us on most days. We keep the fans running to stay cool. It's just a regular workplace like any other. The Mahanga area is quiet enough for us to focus on the stitching.
