Handicrafts Export House

We’ve been tucked away here on Nafis Road in Jamia Nagar for a while now. If you know Batla House, you know it’s always crowded and moving. Our spot at N-13 is where all the packing happens. We deal mostly with handmade items that people from different parts of the country send to us. It gets pretty dusty inside with all the bubble wrap and cardboard boxes piled up near the door. My brother and I usually handle the paperwork while a couple of local guys help load the trucks when they can actually fit down the street. It’s not a fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s just a workspace where things get checked and sent off to wherever they need to go outside India. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoons, so we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back. We don't have a big sign, just the address and a lot of work to do. People around here know us as the place that always has a heap of packages ready to move. We focus on getting the items out on time because the shipping agents don't like waiting. The neighbors are used to the noise of the tape dispensers and the chatter. It’s a simple setup but it keeps us busy from morning until late evening. We’ve stayed in this New Delhi neighborhood because it’s where we started and it works for us.
