Naeem Akhtar Nihal Ahmad Momin Textiles

Naeem Akhtar Nihal Ahmad Momin Textiles is found in the Maldhe area of Malegaon at Gat Number 43, Plot Number 10. This is a family-run operation, which you can tell just by looking at how we do things every day. Our lives revolve around the looms and the fabric, just like it has for many families in this town for generations. The shed where the machines are kept is quite loud, and when the Malegaon heat kicks in, it gets very warm inside. We don't have a marketing team or any glossy brochures to show off; we just focus on the work itself. Most of the people living nearby are involved in the same trade, so there is a strong sense of community here. We usually start our day very early to beat the harshest part of the sun. There is always a machine that needs fixing or some thread that needs to be sorted out. Instead of using complicated systems, we keep things simple and focus on making sure the cloth is right. During lunch, we sit together and catch up on whatever is happening in the neighborhood. Our routine is basic and honest, and we don't see any reason to change the way we have always worked. It is a steady life centered around the textile trade and the machines.
