Hira Cold Storage Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is out in Phase 3 of the GIDC at Plot 7/b. Being a cold storage, the first thing you notice when you walk inside is the temperature drop. It’s a huge difference from the heat outside in the estate. We have big heavy doors that stay shut most of the time to keep the cold in. The hum of the cooling units is the constant background noise here. You kind of get used to it after a while. Outside, there’s usually a truck or two backed up to the loading bay. We spend a lot of time wearing jackets even when it’s boiling hot out on the street. The floor is concrete and often a bit damp. We have to keep an eye on the gauges all day. It’s a lot of moving crates around and making sure everything is stacked right. Hira Cold Storage isn't a place for sitting around. It's a lot of physical work, loading and unloading. We don't have a fancy office, just a small room with a desk and some ledgers near the front. The GIDC roads can get pretty rough during the rains, so we have to watch out for big puddles in the yard. It's just a regular industrial job for us. We start early and finish when the last truck is gone for the day. It's simple but it keeps us busy and pays the bills.
