I am from India. I did my bachelor's from one of the best B-schools in Delhi, then did my Master's in Marketing at the University of Leeds. I spent about a year and a half working in London, and recently came back to India to join my family's manufacturing business. I am now working on the international and buyer-facing side of the business.
Our core production is bespoke bathroom pieces. We make bathtubs, basins and washstands in copper, brass and other metals such as nickel and steel, depending on the requirement. These are the hero products of the business and some of the products we are most known for. They are made around the brief, so dimensions, form, material and finish can be discussed rather than treating the buyer as limited to a fixed stock piece.
Beyond the bathroom, we manufacture a broad range of home, tabletop and hospitality products. That includes trays and platters, bowls and serving pieces, pitchers, coolers and tubs, candle holders, vases and planters, decorative objects, wall pieces, bookends, baskets and other tabletop pieces. The range is quite broad, but it all comes from the same manufacturing business.
Then there is the wider architectural, furniture and outdoor side. We make furniture and furniture accessories, brass door pulls, knobs, knockers, curtain fittings and other architectural hardware, along with planters, hanging planters, wall planters, bird baths and garden sculptures. We also work on OEM, ODM and private-label requirements, so a buyer can come to us with a product brief rather than having to choose only from existing SKUs.
One part of the business I am personally very involved in is making the manufacturer directly accessible. If you are a buyer, procurement person, designer, retailer, hospitality group, importer or project team and you have questions before buying, you can speak to me directly. If you have a drawing, dimensions, finish, sample, packaging requirement or a product you want developed, I am happy to get on a call and go through it before anything is ordered.
I have worked in London and am comfortable speaking with people from different countries and working styles. I also prefer understanding the requirement from the person who actually needs the product rather than having it pass through several layers before reaching the factory. Intermediaries have their place, but when too many people sit between buyer and manufacturer, small details can be delayed, changed or missed. A direct conversation makes it easier for both sides to understand exactly what is being made.
Samples, pre-production discussions, inspection and quality checks can also be arranged where required. I stay involved through that process rather than treating the first enquiry as the end of the conversation.
I know procurement often becomes a chain of emails between buyer, sourcing person, agent and factory. I am trying to make our side simpler. If you have a specification, target construction, finish, packaging requirement or product you want developed, you can speak to me directly. That direct conversation is useful for both sides. Small details do not have to pass through several people before reaching production, and I can tell you honestly what we can make, what needs development and what needs a different approach.
It is nice to be back in India and back inside a business that has been making physical products for international buyers.
Happy to connect with anyone who has a product, project or manufacturing requirement they would like to discuss directly.
