Divya Garments

You’ll find us at No. 11 in the Ramasamy Gounder Layout, which is in the Thennampalayam area. We are right near Divya Hospital, so it’s a pretty easy landmark for people to use when they’re looking for us. We do garment manufacturing and it’s a fairly busy little spot. The layout is mostly residential and small businesses, so it feels like a community. We have several people working here, mostly local folks from around Thennampalayam. There’s always a lot of fabric being moved around and the sound of shears cutting through cloth. We don't have any polished corporate history to share. We started small and we’ve just stayed at a size we can manage. The workspace is a bit tight sometimes when we have a lot of material delivered, but we make it work. We spend our days checking seams and making sure the sizes are correct. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but we take it seriously. We don't use big words to describe what we do; we just make clothes. Sometimes we have tea together outside when the weather is nice. It’s a decent place to work and we’ve been here long enough that we feel like part of the neighborhood. We don't aim for anything fancy, just doing the job that needs doing every single day. We keep the doors open to let the air in and just get on with the sewing.
