Shreenathji Industries

If you look for Plot No 3409 in the Gidc Estate Phase 4, you’ll find our gate. It’s a big industrial area, so everything looks kind of the same after a while. We’ve been operating out of this unit for several years. The floor is usually a bit greasy and there’s always something that needs fixing. We aren't a big outfit, just a handful of us making sure things move along. The morning air in the estate has that specific smell of metal and oil. We usually have the radio playing in the background, though you can barely hear it over the clanking. It’s not a showroom, it’s just where the work happens. Sometimes customers come by and we just talk shop over some plastic chairs in the corner. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. If the bell rings, one of us just wipes our hands on a rag and goes to see who it is. Phase 4 is a busy place, always trucks loading and unloading nearby. It can get pretty loud during the peak hours. We try to keep things organized but it’s a constant battle with all the parts we have lying around. Most of the guys have been here since the start. We just keep our heads down and finish what’s on the list for the day. It’s honest work for those of us here.
