As we traveled further to another nearby village, I encountered yet another instance of rural India getting connected with corporate India, in interesting and synergistic ways.

 Two brothers, Choga Lal Teli and Takhat Singh Teli, run a home enterprise for producing PC ‘dust-covers’ to IT peripherals company, Amkette, which is based in Delhi.

Here, 670 km away, in a village in Udaipur district, the brothers churn out 8000 piece each month. Their employees cut the sheets, stitch them into shape, and brand them as ‘Amkette’ before shipping them out.
As a related diversification, they also produce 50 kg of PolyPropylene ropes each day in another location nearby.
