Cottage Industries Exposition Ltd

Our place is over in Sector 22, right at E-145 in Noida. If you know the area, it's pretty straightforward to find. We’ve set up Cottage Industries Exposition Ltd here to handle a lot of the local distribution and showing. It’s not always quiet, especially with the traffic outside, but inside we try to keep things focused on the crafts. We have stacks of carpets and a lot of hand-embroidered textiles sitting around. Usually, a couple of us are here throughout the day, moving things or talking to people who want to know how a certain rug was made. We don't really do the big corporate thing with suits and scripted greetings. Most days I’m just in my regular clothes, moving boxes or dusting off the display pieces. The lights in the back sometimes flicker, and the floor has some scuffs, but it feels like a real workspace. We get a lot of stuff from rural artisans who don’t have another way to get their work out there. It’s rewarding to see a piece find a home after knowing it took someone weeks to finish by hand. We stay busy with the paperwork and the lifting, but there’s always time for a cup of tea if a regular drops by. It’s just a simple setup where the focus stays on the actual items we sell, not on being flashy. We keep the doors open and the work moving forward without any complicated nonsense.
