Jimikki Garments Private Limited

Our workshop for Jimikki Garments Private Limited is tucked away in Kavalur, right near the Government Hospital. If you are driving through Alangayam, you’ll find us at SF.NO.73/1B in the Sathiram area. It’s a bit of a trek from the main Vellore city, but it’s where we work. The building is simple and we spend most of our time at the workbenches. We have a lot of people from the local village who come in every morning to start the machines. It’s not a polished place with glass walls; it’s a real factory floor with piles of cotton and rolls of material everywhere. The air smells like fresh fabric and sometimes a bit of oil from the machines. We focus on getting the stitching right and checking the seams. If you come by during lunch, you’ll see everyone sitting together under the shade of the trees outside. Tirupattur can get quite hot in the summer months, so we try to get most of the heavy work done early in the day. We don’t have a marketing team or anything like that. We just focus on the orders we have. Sometimes the delivery trucks have trouble finding the exact spot near the hospital, so we have to go out and wave them down. It’s a straightforward life here. We make the clothes, pack them into boxes, and send them off. That’s what our days look like in this part of Vellore district. We’ve been here for years and the rhythm never really changes.
