A.D. Singh Handicraft

We have been here in Kurar Village for a long time now. If you head down towards the Appapada area, past the Upadhyay General Store, you will find our place in Room Number 7 of the Satveer Yadav Chawl. It is not a big fancy office or a showroom. Just a small space where we get our work done every day. Most of the time, the area is pretty crowded and noisy with people coming and going from the shops nearby. We handle different kinds of handicraft items here. Sometimes it gets quite hot in the afternoons, but we keep the fans going and stay busy with the orders. Our neighbors at the general store are good people, and we often see them in the mornings when we open up the shutters. The work involves a lot of manual handling and checking things over carefully. We do not have a big team, just a few of us who know the trade. People usually find us by asking around the chawl because the lanes can be a bit confusing if you aren't from around Malad East. It is a simple setup. We focus on the pieces we are making and try to make sure everything is sorted before the day ends. Living and working in this part of Mumbai means you get used to the hustle. We just do our bit here and keep things moving as best as we can without making a fuss.
