Ankur Chemicals

Ankur Chemicals is tucked away at Plot No. C-1/240/2 in Vatva. This part of Phase-2 in GIDC is always moving. You can hear the sounds of the industrial area from blocks away. Our unit is one of those smaller spots where a lot of chemical work happens. It is not a clean job, and the floors always seem to have a bit of a stain on them no matter how much we sweep. We deal with sacks and barrels all day long. The heat in Vatva can be pretty intense, especially in the summer, and it makes the work inside the shed feel a bit heavier. We keep a fan going, but it mostly just moves the warm air around. People around here are mostly workers and drivers. We see the same faces every day at the tea stall around the corner. The plot number is a bit specific, being part of a split plot, so sometimes deliveries take a minute to find the right gate. We don’t bother much with decorations or anything. It is a workspace, plain and simple. We handle the chemicals, pack them up, and get them moved out. Most of the time, we are just making sure everything is where it belongs so we can find it the next morning. It is a steady rhythm that we have gotten used to over the years. We just keep doing it.
