GOPURAM SAREES PRIVATE LIMITED

You can find Gopuram Sarees on Madurai Road in Aruppukottai. We’ve been around for a bit, working with traditional wear and making sure the local shops and customers get what they are looking for. The building at 188(2) is where we keep the stock and handle the daily bits of the business. Sarees are a big part of life here in Tamil Nadu, especially around Madurai and Virudhunagar, so there is always something to do. We spend a lot of time looking at fabrics and checking the weaves to make sure they are okay. It’s not always easy, as the market changes and people want different colors or patterns depending on the season. Our staff knows a lot about the different types of cloth we use. We don't try to be something we aren't; we’re just a local saree company trying to keep the business going steady. Sometimes the road outside gets really noisy with all the traffic heading into Madurai, but inside we just focus on the bundles of fabric. We deal with suppliers and occasionally help out people who come by looking for specific designs. It’s practical work, checking orders and managing the inventory we have on hand. There’s no big corporate vibe here, just people who have worked with textiles for most of their lives. We just take it one day at a time and keep the shelves filled.
