Sri Ram Textiles Pvt Limited

Our place is in Gandhi Nagar, over in Visakhapatnam. We are in Phase II, specifically at Door Number 154. It’s a busy industrial area, and we fit right in with the rest of them. Most of our day is spent around the sounds of machines and the smell of raw fabric. Textiles is a tricky business because you have to keep an eye on the quality of the threads every single hour. If something goes wrong with a batch, you have to catch it early or it’s a big waste. We have some local staff who have been with us for years, and they know the machines better than anyone. The office part of the building is usually piled with ledgers and sample swatches of different cloths. We don't do much in the way of advertising. Most people find us because they need a reliable supply of cloth for their own projects or shops. It gets quite humid here in Vizag, which actually helps with some types of weaving, but it makes the warehouse a bit stuffy in the afternoons. We spend a lot of time on the phone with suppliers and checking the inventory. It's not a glamorous job, and there’s always lint on our clothes by the time we go home. We just focus on keeping the production lines moving and making sure the boxes get loaded onto the trucks without too much delay. We also have to keep an eye on the power supply because a sudden cut can stop the looms mid-pattern.
