Shiv Krishna Chicory Processing

Shiv Krishna Chicory Processing is located at D-53 in the Industrial Estate on Kasganj Road. It’s a busy area with a lot of trucks moving in and out all day. Our unit is one of many, but you can usually tell which one is ours by the stacks of pallets outside. We do everything here, from receiving the raw stuff to getting it processed and packed. The floor is concrete and we’ve spent many hours sweeping it clean. It’s an industrial space, so it’s not exactly pretty. There are pipes running along the ceiling and wires tucked into the corners. We use old-school scales because they still work just fine. My cousins help out with the heavy work during the peak season. We eat our lunch together on the wooden crates when things get busy. There isn't any fancy decor or air conditioning in the main work area. We just use big fans to keep the air moving. Dealing with chicory means you’re always a little bit covered in dust. It’s honest work and we don’t complain much. We’ve been at D-53 for quite a while now. Most of the other business owners on Kasganj Road are friends of ours. We borrow tools from each other when something breaks down. It’s a good community to be part of while we do our daily tasks and manage the local production cycle.
