Narmada Bio-pesticide Industries

You’ll find us on the Sanad Sarkhej Sanand Road, which is a busy stretch for anyone headed out of the city. We work in the bio-pesticide industry, which means we spend our days dealing with a lot of natural ingredients and bags of supplies. The facility isn't something out of a science fiction movie; it’s a working warehouse with the smell of earth and sometimes a few sharp smells from the mixes we’re making. We’ve got a small crew that knows the area well. Most of us have been working in these fields for years. We aren't trying to sell anyone a dream; we just make the stuff that helps farmers keep their crops from getting eaten by bugs. It’s hard work, especially when the heat kicks in during the summer months. The dust from the road settles on everything, so we’re always wiping down the desks. We have a small office area where we take orders and talk to the guys who drive the delivery trucks. There’s no big corporate board here, just a few of us making decisions over lunch. We stick to what we know, which is the chemistry of the pesticides and making sure they get delivered on time. It’s a practical life, and we like the independence of being out here on the road instead of in a cramped city center. We keep a few chairs outside for when the weather is nice, though the truck traffic makes it a bit noisy.
