Dravid Knits Pvt. Ltd.

You can find us over at No. 27 Krr Thottam on Mangalam Road. This whole area is basically the heart of the knitting world around here, and we’ve been part of it for a good while. Our building isn't anything special to look at, just a functional space where we keep our knitting machines. They run almost all the time, so there’s a steady thumping sound that you can hear even from the street. It’s quite loud, but we’re used to it. We don't have a big corporate structure or managers in suits. It’s mostly just us and the guys who know how to keep the machines from jamming up. We handle all kinds of knit fabrics, and the floor is usually covered in bits of lint and yarn. It’s a bit of a mess, but it’s a productive mess. Mangalam Road is always clogged with traffic, so we spend a lot of time watching the trucks crawl by while we drink our morning tea. We don't go in for any promotional talk or big promises. We just try to make fabric that isn't full of holes and gets delivered when we said it would. Most of our clients have been with us for years, so they know we’re just regular people doing our best. It’s a busy life, and there’s always something that needs fixing, but we wouldn’t really know what else to do with ourselves if we weren't here.
