Orient Craft

Our workspace is at K-127 in Nardan Basti, Lal Kaun. It’s right off M.B. Road, which is one of the busiest stretches in New Delhi. The traffic there is legendary, and we spend a lot of our time just planning how to get things in and out without getting stuck for hours. Orient Craft is located in a pretty gritty part of town where people work hard. Our building is nothing special to look at, just bricks and mortar with a heavy metal door. Inside, it’s a bit of a maze with all the materials we have stored. We don't have fancy office chairs, mostly just whatever we could find that was sturdy. The lighting isn't great, but we make do with what we have. It’s often noisy because of the trucks on M.B. Road and the other workshops nearby. We don't have a polished website or a marketing team; we just have our hands and our time. Most of our day is spent checking quality and packing things up. It can get pretty dusty, and the air isn't the freshest, but this is where we’ve set up shop. We usually take a break in the afternoon to sit outside for a few minutes, even if it’s just to watch the cars crawl by. It’s an honest way to make a living, and we don't try to sugarcoat it. It’s just us, in a small corner of Lal Kaun, getting things done every single day. We don't ask for much more than that.
