Lotus Signage Systems / Maruthi Print Technologies

We operate out of 28-22-13 on Rahaman Street in Aurandalpet. It’s a combined space for Lotus Signage Systems and Maruthi Print Technologies. This street is always moving, and we are right in the thick of it. The air in our shop usually smells like printing ink and vinyl, which is something you just stop noticing after the first week. We have a few large printers and cutting machines that take up most of the floor space. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when we have a big order for signs coming through. There are always rolls of material leaning against the walls and scraps of paper on the floor. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a fancy lobby. People come to us because they need something printed or a sign made, and they know we’ll just get it done. The team here is a mix of people who are good with design and others who are better at the physical assembly. We often stay late when a deadline is breathing down our necks. Aurandalpet is a central spot, so we get a lot of walk-in traffic from local shops wanting banners or letterheads. We don’t use any corporate scripts when we talk to customers. We just figure out what they want and tell them how long it will take. It’s a gritty, busy kind of work, but seeing the final signs go up around the city is a good feeling.
