Gujarat Khadi Gramodhyog Mandal

Gujarat Khadi Gramodhyog Mandal is based right at the Gandhi Ashram. It’s a place with a lot of history, and we feel that every day we come in to work. We aren't like a modern retail store or a corporate office. Our focus is on khadi and the traditional goods that come from village industries. The atmosphere here is very different from the rest of the city. It’s quieter and feels more grounded. We spend our days managing the supplies and making sure the products are available for people who visit. The ashram grounds are beautiful, and it's a privilege to be located here. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that. We just focus on the work that needs to be done to keep things running smoothly. People come from all over to see the ashram and they often stop by to see what we have. We deal with a lot of local artisans and weavers. It’s a simple way of doing business, based more on relationships than on numbers. We try to keep everything organized, though it can get busy during tourist seasons. Our staff has been here for years, and we all just do our part. It’s not about being the biggest or the most profitable. It’s about maintaining the tradition and providing honest goods to the community. We are proud to be part of this legacy.
