Ashumlisa Apparels Private Limited

We are based in Gobindpur Fatuha, which is on the outskirts of Patna. You can find us at Sri Narayan Saw’s place. It is a bit of a drive from the main city, but we like the space we have here. We focus on apparels and have a decent-sized work area. It is basically just a big room with a lot of tables and sewing machines. The walls could use a bit of paint, but we are too busy to worry about that. Most of the staff comes from the nearby villages. We all know each other’s names and families. It feels more like a community than a company. We don't use any of those big business words. We just talk about fabric and deadlines. The weather in Bihar can be tough, especially in the summer, but we have enough fans to keep us going. We don't have a fancy showroom. If you want to see our work, you have to come to the workshop and see it on the tables. It is a very hands-on process. We spend a lot of time checking the seams and making sure the fabric is cut right. There is always a lot of scrap cloth on the floor by the end of the day. We just sweep it up and start again the next morning. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we are used to it. We just want to keep the business moving.
