ANKAA TEXTILES PRIVATE LIMITED

Ankaa Textiles is tucked away on the first floor of House Number 17 in Shakti Vihar, which is part of the Meethapur Extension in Badarpur. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs, and the lane can get quite narrow with all the scooters and delivery bikes parked around. We deal mostly with bulk fabrics and getting orders ready for transport. The space isn’t very large, so we have to be smart about how we stack the rolls. Gali No. 7 is usually loud with the sound of people going about their business. We start our day early, opening up the shutters and checking what needs to go out first. Most of our work involves checking the weave of the cloth and making sure the colors are what the customers asked for. It’s dusty work sometimes, and we all end up with lint on our clothes by the end of the shift. We’ve been in this part of New Delhi for a while, and we know the neighborhood well. It’s a practical setup—no fancy decorations, just tables for cutting and shelves for storage. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts or the heat, but we just keep going. It’s a simple operation run by people who know a bit about thread and cloth. We don’t spend money on big signs; we just focus on making sure the orders are packed tight and sent off to the right address.
