Sonika Garments Tiruppur

Our place is situated on the first floor, right across the road from the M. S. P. petrol bunk on Dharapuram Road. It is a very busy part of K. Chetipalayam. We focus on garments here. Since Tiruppur is known for this kind of work, we are just one of the many units in the area doing our bit. The workspace is usually filled with the sound of sewing machines and the sight of large cutting tables. It gets quite loud when all the machines are running at the same time. We have a small group of workers who come in every morning to get things started. We mostly take local orders and try our best to get them finished and ready on time. Sometimes the fabric deliveries show up late, which throws off our whole schedule for the week, but we just try to catch up. The office part of our shop is just a small wooden desk in the corner where we keep the books. We do not have any air conditioning, so we rely on the ceiling fans to keep the air moving. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons. We usually have piles of half-finished shirts or trousers sitting around on the benches. It might look a bit chaotic to someone walking in for the first time, but we know exactly where everything is located. We just handle things one day at a time.
