Bangle industry in Hyderabad is a flourishing business. 3000 people are part of the glass bangle industry and the role of women is also imperative in this sector. Glass bangles come in attractive colors and catchy sound. They depict culturally rich ornaments. In order to make a single bangle, 32 hands become a part of its manufacturing and embellishment process. The work is done by 2000 under privileged, home bound women processors. This work is one of the ways that women can make ends meet.
The glass used in these bangles is produced from various chemicals and at times the raw glass is purchased locally from Punjab. Karigar or workers are kept on contract that does the embellishment. Since the production capacity of the embellishment work is higher, hence, they are paid higher wages. Once the embellishment is done, the wholesalers will sell it to retailers on cash, short term or long-term credit. The mode of business transaction and business tenure relationship will decide the price variance. Punjab and Karachi wholesalers place the order telephonically, however, due to some bad credit experience, this practice has been minimized.
According to research, Punjab holds the biggest market for the glass bangle in Pakistan. India has also captured parts of the market of all those countries where there are loopholes. SMEDA and TDPA have played a positive role in enhancing this industry, yet they can still play a huge role in facilitating the industry. Micro financing is not a very attractive option for this industry.
Hyderabad is known as the city of bangles. It is known for its pleasant and mild climate even during peak summer time. The reason why Hyderabad is the hub of glass bangles is because firstly, the weather is favorable for the production of glass bangles and secondly, the workers are highly skilled and trained in this region, which is mandatory for the manufacturing of the same.
My Hyderabad in India is also very famous for churiyaan :) No trip is complete without visiting the Charminar area for bangles and Mirchi ke pakore and finish it off with a tall glass of meethi lassi.
Hyderabad is not another city. Its second home to me
