Thangam Garment Accessories Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is on Nkn Road in Alandur, and if you know the area, you know how cramped the streets can get. We are at No : 371 and it’s basically just a big room filled with boxes of garment accessories. We have zippers in every color you can think of, plus buttons and all sorts of trim. Most of the time, the air smells a bit like new fabric and cardboard. It’s not a quiet place because there’s always someone unloading a bag or counting out small items for an order. We have a few old fans that rattle a lot, but they keep the air moving during the humid days. My desk is usually buried under sample cards and scraps of lace. It’s hard to stay organized when so many different things are coming in and going out every single day. We don't really do much in the way of fancy meetings. Usually, if we need to talk about something, we just stand around the packing table and figure it out. The neighbors are mostly other small businesses, so we all kind of know each other. Sometimes we share a tea in the afternoon when things calm down for a bit. It’s a lot of manual work, checking labels and making sure the counts are right. If a box goes missing, it’s a whole headache to find it in the stacks. But that’s just how it goes here in Alandur and we just deal with it.
