Dwalen Apparel (Opc) Private Limited

Our spot is over in Kasarwadi, right in the middle of Building 1 at Vishal Chaitanya. Being in Pune, specifically this part of town, means we are surrounded by families and other small shops. We operate out of Flat 6 on the second floor, so you have to walk up the stairs since the lift is a bit temperamental. It’s a bit of a squeeze with all the apparel stock piled up in the corners, but it keeps things simple for us. Some days it feels more like a home than an office because of how the building is laid out. You can hear the neighbors and the street noise from Sno 419/2 throughout the day. We usually have rolls of cloth leaned up against the walls and a few old desks where we handle all the paperwork. It’s just a small team here, so everyone ends up doing a bit of everything, from packing boxes to answering the phone. The traffic in Kasarwadi can be a bit much in the evenings, so we try to get our dispatches done early. It’s a practical way to run things without having a big, expensive storefront. We’ve grown used to the rhythm of the building and the local chai wallah who knows our order by heart. Most of our day is spent checking sizes and making sure the tags are right. It’s straightforward work, nothing too complicated, just trying to keep the orders moving out of our flat.
