Tarun Vadehra (The Indian Furniture Company)

We are located out in Sector 58, which is part of the Phase-Iii industrial area. Our unit at C-74 is usually a noisy place because there is always something being cut or sanded. Tarun started this work a long time ago, and we call ourselves The Indian Furniture Company because that is exactly what we are. We don't have a shiny store with bright lights and salesmen in suits. Instead, we have a workshop where the smell of fresh wood and polish is always in the air. You’ll see piles of lumber in the corner and guys working hard on various frames. We make all sorts of things, from chairs to big tables, and it takes time to do it right. We don't like to rush because wood can be stubborn if you don't treat it properly. Some of our carpenters have been here since the very beginning, and they have the scars and calluses to prove it. Visitors often come by just to see the pieces while they are still being built. It’s a bit messy, with sawdust on the floor and tools lying around, but that is how a real furniture place should look. We don't bother with fancy mission statements. We just focus on making sure the joints are tight and the finish is smooth. It’s hard work, but we like the feeling of finishing a piece and seeing it ready to go out.
