I have been running things here at 601/6 Kalkaji Govindpuri for a good while now. The shop is not much to look at, just a few machines and a lot of paper scraps and ink bottles on the floor. Most days it is just me and a couple of guys handling the big printers. We do a lot of those large flex banners you see hanging around the street corners in this neighborhood. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon and we just have to sit outside on the steps until it comes back. It is a very busy part of Govindpuri, so there are always people poking their heads in to ask how much a simple sticker costs or if we can print a wedding card by the next morning. We do not have a fancy reception area or anything polished like that. There is just one main desk that is usually buried under old samples and dusty invoices. If you come by to visit, you will probably hear the constant humming of the plotters working. It gets pretty hot in here during the summer, especially in the back room where the ink smells are a bit stronger. We just keep our heads down and get the work finished. It is not a big corporate setup, just a local spot where we deal with regular people needing things printed. Usually, we are drinking tea from the stall nearby while waiting for the files to load. That is how it goes.
