Shree Padmavati Rice Pulse & Oil Mills

You can find us at Plot 235 in Phase I of the Gidc in Naroda. This is where we run Shree Padmavati Rice Pulse & Oil Mills. It's an industrial setting, so there's always the smell of grain and the sound of the mills running in the background. We spend our days processing rice, pulses, and oil. It’s repetitive work, but it’s what we know. The machinery needs a lot of attention to keep it from clogging up or slowing down. We don't have a marketing department or anyone to write fancy brochures for us. We just focus on the mill. The yard is usually full of sacks waiting to be moved or trucks coming in to drop off raw materials. Naroda Gidc is a big place, and it’s easy to get lost, but we’ve been at this plot for a good amount of time. The workers here have their routine down. We drink a lot of tea to stay sharp while watching the machines. It’s dusty and loud, but that’s a mill for you. We don't promise anything revolutionary. We just process the crops as they come in and send them out when they’re ready. Sometimes the power goes out and everything stops, which is frustrating, but we just wait it out and start again. It’s practical work for practical people. If you’re in Phase I, we’re the ones at Plot 235. We stay busy with the harvest and keep the machines turning.
