Kamal Hosiery Industries

We’ve been tucked away at 5 New Colony in the Model Basti area for quite some time now. If you know where the old Filmistan Cinema is, we’re just right behind it. It’s an interesting neighborhood because you have the mix of old houses and small workshops like ours. Kamal Hosiery Industries isn't a giant factory; it’s more of a local setup where we handle everything from knitting to the final packing. The building has seen better days, but it serves us well enough for what we do. Every morning, the street starts getting busy with tea stalls opening up and people heading to work. We usually start early to beat the heat. The machines have a specific rhythm that you just get used to after a while. Sometimes the thread snaps or a needle breaks, and we have to stop everything to fix it, which can be frustrating when we’re in a hurry. We don't put out big ads or have a website that’s updated every day. Most of our business comes from people who have known us for decades. We just focus on getting the orders right and making sure the quality is decent for the price. It’s a simple life behind the cinema. We work, we have our lunch breaks together, and then we finish up and go home to our families in the evening.
