Keshav Till Factory

Over at Plot No. 215 in Phase 2 of Gidc, you’ll find Keshav Till Factory. Dealing with sesame seeds all day means the whole place has a specific earthy smell that sticks to your clothes. The machines we use for cleaning and sorting the seeds are quite old, but they still do the job just fine. They make a rhythmic humming sound that fills the whole factory floor. Phase 2 is a busy area, but our plot feels like its own little world once you step inside. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of the seeds by hand, running them through our fingers to make sure they are clean. It is dusty work, and we usually have to wear scarves over our faces when the blowers are running. The office is just a small corner with a wooden desk and a few chairs for when people come to talk business. We don't have any big signs or advertisements. Most people who come here have been doing business with us for years. We just focus on the seeds and the machines. Sometimes we have to stay late if a big shipment comes in, but that’s just part of the job. It’s a plain, honest way to make a living, and we like the familiarity of the routine here in the Gidc estate.
