Deepa C. Pillai
Local shoemaking and blacksmithing
- 🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India
- Sakura Shop
- 1980 to 2002
- English, Malayalam
I've worked in shoemaking from 1980 to 2002. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 990 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I take the work seriously, though not myself.
More about Deepa
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Deepa: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
