Dragon Footwear Pvt. Ltd.

We are based over at Anand Puram Colony on Baldev Road, right near the Lohavan Bagichi. It’s a bit of a dusty area, especially when the trucks go by, but it’s where we’ve set up our footwear business. We aren't some big corporate office with a lobby and a receptionist. When you walk in, you’re basically walking into the middle of where the shoes are actually made. There’s the smell of leather and rubber everywhere, and the sound of the stitching machines is constant. We’ve been doing this for a long time as a private limited company, but it still feels like a small family operation. Most of our workers have been with us for ten years or more. They know exactly how to handle the materials and the machines. The road outside can get pretty bad during the monsoon season, so we sometimes struggle with deliveries, but we always find a way to make it work. We don't have any flashy brochures or a marketing team telling people how great we are. We just make the shoes and hope they last a long time for whoever buys them. People around Lohavan know us well. Sometimes locals stop by just to see if we have any seconds or extra stock they can buy for cheap. It’s a lot of hard work and long hours, but seeing a finished crate of boots ready to go out makes us feel like we’ve done something decent with our day.
