B.R.D. Manufacturing Company

If you walk down Raja Gopi Mohan Street near the Manicktola Market, you’ll find us tucked away at number one. It’s a narrow area, typical for this part of the city, and it gets incredibly crowded during market hours. We’ve been operating from this spot for years, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit, though the noise stays the same. The smell of the market is always there, mixing with the metallic scents from our manufacturing space. Our shop isn't big, but we make the most of the space we have. There are always stacks of materials near the entrance, and sometimes it's a bit of a squeeze for anyone walking in. We don’t have a big reception or a fancy sign. It’s just us working on the orders that come in. Most of the people who work here live nearby, so they know the shortcuts through the alleys to get here on time. The fans are always humming to keep the heat away, but in the middle of summer, it’s still pretty warm. We take our lunch breaks together, often getting something from the local vendors right outside. It’s a very hands-on job, and my hands are usually dirty by ten in the morning. We don't worry much about looking professional in a corporate way; we just care about getting the items manufactured correctly before the day ends. It’s a lived-in space with a lot of history in these walls.
