Seventy Years.
One Address.
Chandigarh was built to a standard. A city conceived on a modular grid, shaped by Le Corbusier's vision of what a modern Indian city could be — ordered, purposeful, and deeply human. What made it remarkable was not just the plan on paper. It was the decision to build it entirely with local hands, local materials, and local craft. The ethos was clear: make it here, and make it right.
Industrial Area Phase 1 was essential to that vision. When Bhagwan Singh was allocated Plot 65 in 1956, the Capitol Complex was still under construction. He was not arriving late. He was part of the original fabric of the city. A craftsman in a city that believed in craftsmanship. That alignment has never changed.
Of the original small manufacturers allocated plots in Phase 1, fewer than ten remain active today. Bhagwan Singh & Sons is one of them. That is not nostalgia. That is continuity — a living business on an original plot, building to the same standard since day one.
"A city is not just its monuments. It is the workshops behind them and the hands that keep it running."
Le Corbusier designed the blueprint for Chandigarh. But it was the workshops, the carpenters, and the makers of Punjab who gave the city its life. Bhagwan Singh understood that instinct deeply. When he established Plot 65 in 1956, he was not following a market. He was helping create one.
The same commitment to craft that shaped Chandigarh's buildings has shaped every boat, every play installation, and every wedding prop that has left this workshop. Made here. Made well. Made to last.
Prem Singh carried the standard through the 1970s and 80s, guiding the transition from wooden to aluminium hulls as Punjab's waterways and tourism grew. Charanjit Singh built on that foundation, expanding the workshop into three product categories and a national customer base. Now Inderpreet Singh brings the fourth generation home — with global hospitality experience and a passion for craft-led events, leading the Wedding Décor & Events division with the same dedication that has defined this family since 1956.
"Three generations of craft and now a fourth. The city grew around us. The standard never moved."
