Hira Hastkala Udyog

Hira Hastkala Udyog is run out of a place called 'Matra Pitra Kripa', which is at H-26 in the U.I.T. Colony area of Partap Nagar. It’s a bit of a different setup because we are tucked away in a residential colony rather than a big industrial park. This means things are a little more personal for us and our visitors. The name of the house is written right there on the front wall. We turned part of the house into a workspace where we do our handiwork. There’s usually a bit of a crowd near the entrance because neighbors stop to chat while we are working on something. It can get a bit cramped when we have a lot of orders to finish at the same time. We do a lot of things by hand here, so you won't hear the constant roar of heavy engines, just the sound of smaller tools and people talking. Sometimes we work late into the night under a few bright bulbs when deadlines are tight. The floor is often covered in small pieces of fabric or wood, depending on what we are doing that week. We don't have a big sign out front, just the house number. Most people who find us know the area well or were told where to look. It feels more like a family operation than a big company. We drink a lot of tea and try to stay organized among the piles.
