Ashoka Handloom & Handicraft Society

Ashoka Handloom & Handicraft Society is located at Building No-1390, right near Sai Baba Chowk in the Housing Board Colony. This building has been part of the landscape here for a long time. When you walk in, you can usually smell the materials and the wood of the looms. It is not like a modern office at all; it feels more like a workshop where people are actually making things with their hands. There is always some sort of activity going on, whether someone is sorting through threads or checking the finished products. The Housing Board Colony is a quiet enough place, but being near Sai Baba Chowk means there is always a bit of life nearby. We have piles of different fabrics and handcrafted items sitting on the large tables. The lighting isn't the best in every corner, but the people working here know their craft so well they could probably do it in the dark. We don't have a big marketing department or glossy brochures. We just focus on the items we produce and the daily tasks of running the society. It can get a bit dusty with all the textiles around, but that is just part of the job. Most of our day is spent coordinating with the different makers and ensuring everything is moving along. It is a practical environment where the focus stays on the traditional work we have been doing for years. We just try to keep the old ways going daily while managing the needs of the building.
