He is the iron man of Nizamuddin East. Picking up a crumpled blue shirt, he modestly says, “I iron more than 100 clothes daily.”Mr Shyam commutes daily from his home in east Delhi’s Lakshmi Nagar.

Sprawling neighbourhoods such as Nizamuddin East have many such laundry establishments, each with its own turf of bungalows and flats. The other heritage-worthy thing about Shyam’s ironing service is his bloodline.
