Ramdev Apparel Company

You can find Ramdev Apparel Company at No. 15/ A Leo Anthony House in Khotwadi. It’s a bit of a tucked-away spot, but once you know where Leo Anthony House is, it’s easy enough to find us. We work on all kinds of apparel here. The building is an old one and it has that specific smell of fabric and thread that you only find in clothing places. We have several sewing machines going at once most of the time, so there is a constant hum in the background. It’s not a quiet place to work, but we are used to it by now. Khotwadi is a crowded area and parking is always a nightmare, so most of us just walk or take the bus. We don't have a big sign out front, just a small one near the entrance. The rooms are filled with rolls of cloth and half-finished garments hanging on racks. Sometimes we stay late when there is a big order to finish, and the light from our windows is the only thing on in this part of the building. We aren't trying to be a big brand or anything like that. We just do the work that comes in and try to keep everything organized, even though the piles of fabric seem to grow on their own. We have an old wooden table where we take our breaks and there is always a stack of newspapers there from last week. The ceiling is high but the light doesn't always reach the back corners very well. It’s a lot of manual work.
