Sawan Fabrics

We operate out of 837 Industrial Area A, near Cheema Chowk on R K Road. Ludhiana is a big place for textiles, and we’re right in the middle of it. Our space is mostly filled with rolls of cloth and the smell of cotton. It’s a bit noisy because of all the machines and the trucks moving outside. We deal with all kinds of fabrics. Some days we're moving heavy bolts of denim, and other days it's lighter materials. It’s a lot of lifting and measuring. The floors usually have threads and scraps all over them by the end of the day. We don’t have a fancy showroom. If you come by, you’ll see us working in our shirtsleeves, probably covered in a bit of lint. It’s a practical business. We supply to different shops and makers. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait it out, which is just part of being in the industrial area. We’ve been at this for a long time. We know our fabrics by touch. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady. We keep the inventory moving and try to stay on top of the orders. There’s always someone coming in to check a sample or pick up a load. We just keep the gates open and get to work until it’s time to lock up.
