Sikandarpur Handloom Weaver Producer Company Limited

Sikandarpur Handloom Weaver Producer Company Limited is a local group of us working together in Sikandarpur, Chakia. We are set up at Dil Mohammad’s place. It’s not a big factory with bright lights; it’s a handloom operation, so everything feels very traditional and grounded. The sound of the looms is something you get used to very quickly. It’s almost like a heartbeat for the village. Dil Mohammad has been around for a long time, and he helps keep everything organized for the weavers. We are a producer company, which basically means we are a bunch of locals trying to make a living from what we know how to do best. Chakia is a small place, and everyone knows where we are. We don't have a big office or a reception desk. You just walk in and see people busy at their looms. The thread gets everywhere, on our clothes and in our hair, but no one really minds. Sometimes we sit outside under the shade when the sun is too much. We talk about the weather or the price of yarn. It’s a very simple way of doing business. We don't use any big words or corporate talk because that’s not who we are. We are just weavers from Sikandarpur trying to keep the tradition going and support our families. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know. We have been doing this for years and plan to stay right here.
