M/S Anushri Fashion India (P) Ltd

This place is run out of Vaiyakkoundanpatti, right in the Thiruvengadam post area of Tirunelveli. It’s a family-style setup with Muthuramalingam and his father Suriyanarayanan at the center of things. We aren’t located in a big city mall. Instead, we are right here in the village where we know most of the people passing by. The business is about clothes and making sure things are stitched right. We have several sewing machines that make a lot of noise throughout the day. It’s a loud place but it’s a good kind of busy. The sun hits the building hard in the afternoons, so we keep the windows open for whatever breeze we can get. We handle a lot of fabric, so there are threads and scraps on the floor most of the time. It is not a showroom with bright lights and mirrors. It is a workshop where real work happens. Most of the people working here live just a short walk away. We take a long break in the middle of the day for lunch because of the heat. People from the surrounding Tirunelveli district know they can come to us for steady work. We don't use big words or fancy labels. We just make the garments and ship them out when they are ready. It’s honest work that keeps us going year after year. The address is long, but once you find the post office, we are easy to spot. We usually have a bit of tea around four.
