A. K. Handicrafts

You can find us at 6380, Gali Ishwari Prasad, right in the heart of Barahindu Rao. This lane is narrow and always packed with people and carts, so getting things in and out is always a bit of a challenge. Our workspace is pretty simple. We have tools scattered around and piles of finished goods waiting to be packed up. We don’t really do anything fancy with the decor because this is a place where we actually work with our hands. It’s noisy and sometimes a bit messy with scraps on the floor, but that’s how handicrafts go. We’ve been in this spot for quite a while now. The neighbors know us, and we know them. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of the things we make, making sure there aren't any big mistakes before they go out. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we don’t mind it much. Sometimes the heat in the summer makes it tough to stay focused, but we keep the fans going and keep moving. We aren't trying to be some huge company; we just want to make sure the stuff we produce is decent and that our customers are satisfied with what they get. It’s just a small group of us here, working through the pile of orders every day. We usually have the radio playing in the background to keep things lively while we work through the afternoon heat. It helps the time go by a lot faster.
