Sumitra Sarees

You’ll find Sumitra Sarees on the ground floor of the Surat Textile Market, specifically at G-1316. Being in the STM building means we are right in the middle of one of the biggest hubs for fabric in the country. The Ring Road outside is a nightmare for parking, but once you get inside the market, it’s all about the sarees. Our shop is on the ground floor, which is nice because we don’t have to deal with the elevators, but it also means we get a lot of foot traffic passing by. The space is filled with stacks of sarees from floor to ceiling. We’ve been here for many years, and we’ve seen the market change quite a bit in that time. We don't have any big missions or corporate goals to talk about. We just show up every morning, open the shutters, and start our day. There’s a lot of talk and bargaining that goes on in these hallways, and our shop is no different. We spend our time checking the stitching, looking at new patterns, and making sure our regulars are taken care of. It can get quite hot and cramped when the market is full of people, but that’s just how it goes in this industry. We’ve grown used to the chaos and the constant noise. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we’re content with our spot here.
