RADO COLOUR INDUSTRIES

Our place, RADO COLOUR INDUSTRIES, is out at Plot No. 412 in the HSIIDC area in Saha. It’s a bit of a drive from Ambala city, but it's where all the industrial activity is. The main thing you notice when you walk in is the color; it gets on everything eventually. We try to keep it contained, but you’ll often see a bit of blue or red on our clothes by the end of the shift. We spend our time mixing batches and checking the shades against the samples we have. It’s a lot of weighing powders and monitoring the tanks. The floor is usually a bit stained, but that’s just part of the job. We don’t have a fancy office with air conditioning; we mostly just stay out where the work is happening. The sun can get pretty hot coming through the roof vents, so we drink a lot of water. We’ve got a small crew and we all know each other’s families by now. It’s a quiet life out here in Saha compared to the city. We just focus on getting the colors right for whatever the order is. We don't spend money on big signs or advertising. Most people know where we are if they need us. It’s just us doing our best with the dyes and pigments every day. That’s how we’ve always done it and it works fine.
