Floret Sports

Basti Nau is the kind of neighborhood where everyone knows something about making sports gear. We are located at No. 47 Nijatam Nagar. It's a small street, but we fit a lot of work into our space. At Floret Sports, we spend our days surrounded by equipment and various raw materials. It’s a bit of a maze inside with all the boxes and goods piled up. You might find us stitching up a ball or checking the weight of a piece of equipment. It’s mostly manual labor. We don't have fancy computer systems doing the work for us. We use our hands and our eyes. The neighborhood is always loud with the sounds of other workshops, so you never really feel alone. We usually have a small radio playing in the background to keep the energy up. Sometimes the weather gets too humid and the materials get a bit tricky to handle, but we've learned how to deal with that over the years. We aren't a big corporate entity with a board of directors. It’s just us, the workers, trying to make sure the gear is solid and won't break the first time someone uses it. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the local news while we work. It’s a simple setup. We do the work, pack the boxes, and send them off. That's really all there is to our little spot in Nijatam Nagar. It's how we make a living.
