J. T. P. Textiles

Being at 65 New Street in Rajagoundampalayam means things are a bit different than the big city hubs. At J. T. P. Textiles, our day starts early, usually before the sun gets too high and the heat becomes a real problem. The building is a simple one, right on the street where everyone knows each other. We handle a lot of the local textile needs, focusing on what’s practical for the people around here. There is always a pile of fabric that needs sorting or some orders that need to be bundled up for transport. We don't use any fancy computer systems for every little thing; a lot of it is still done with a pen and a ledger book. It feels more real that way. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon and we just have to wait it out or work by the light from the open door. It's not a perfect setup, but we’ve managed for quite a while now. The workers here are mostly local folks who have been around textiles their whole lives. We talk about the weather or the local news while we pack the goods into bags. It’s a steady kind of life. No one is trying to impress anyone else; we just want to make sure the work gets done and the textiles are moved out on time. It’s a quiet kind of pride we have in the work. New Street is a good place to be for a business like ours.
