00:18But due to lack of employment, they started going to work as labourers.
00:22But since childhood, they have been interested in making carriages.
00:26They thought it would be good to make carriages at home.
00:30First, they made a small car without carriages.
00:33As the car was beautiful and attractive, people around them competed to buy it.
00:39With this, they employed two more young men and increased the speed in car making.
00:49Kottayam, which started making carriages 8 years ago, did not look back after that.
00:56The small business that started in the beginning, has now become a big business.
01:01With the good respect and support from the people, the business has grown.

02:23Kottayam's Edalabandla dolls have a good demand in foreign countries along with Telugu states.
02:28From small dolls that are kept as decorative items at home
02:31to those kept as teapots in the hall, there are large sales.
02:35They take orders through the phones and make the dolls as the customers like them.
02:39Edalabandla dolls are made.
02:41It has been 8 years since I started making them.
02:44I used to work in a different place.
02:46When I was a kid, I used to look at these dolls and think
02:49why not make a vehicle out of them.
02:52So I made my own vehicle.
02:54When I made the vehicle, it was small and nice.
02:57Then I thought it would be nice to make it a little bigger.
03:02Like a teapot, I made it with a 4-foot bed and a 2-foot bed.
03:06When I saw it, I liked it.
03:09Everyone likes it.
03:11Everyone loves these dolls.
03:13If someone asks, we make them from small to big.
03:18We send them to Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Vizag by bus.
03:22We contact them and send them carefully.
03:25Some people even ask America.
03:27We make an ASML video and send it to the people who go to America.
03:32At a young age, he started a business in his own village.
