Arvind Brass Products

Arvind Brass Products is located at 45, Digvijay Plot. It’s a standard sort of place for this neighborhood. We deal with a lot of metal, so there is always the sound of things clanking together or the high-pitched noise of a grinder working somewhere in the back. The floor is usually covered in a fine layer of dust and metal shavings, no matter how much we try to sweep it up. It’s just the nature of working with brass. Our plot isn't huge, so we have to be smart about how we use the space. We have benches set up for the different stages of the work. Most of us have been doing this for years, so we don't need much instruction anymore. We just get in and start on whatever is next in line. The sun comes through the front door in the morning and hits the finished pieces, making the whole room look brighter for a few hours. Outside on the street, it’s a typical mix of residential and small workshops. You might see a cow wandering past or a kid playing while we are trying to load up a crate. It’s not a corporate environment by any stretch of the imagination. We wear old clothes because they’re going to get dirty anyway. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday, and we don't ask for much more than that.
