Mukti Chemical Industries

Mukti Chemical Industries is situated at Plot No. 718, and it’s a place where we spend a lot of time around vats and pipes. Working with chemicals isn't for everyone, but we’ve made a go of it here. We spend our mornings checking temperatures and making sure the mixtures are reacting the way they are supposed to. It’s a lot of waiting and then a lot of rushing once a batch is ready to be drummed up. The yard is usually full of empty blue plastic drums waiting to be filled. We have to be careful with the safety gear, even though it’s uncomfortable in the heat. It’s not a glamorous job, and the building itself is just a functional concrete structure without any decorations. We don't have a sales team or a fancy lobby. Most of the time, the owner is right there on the floor with everyone else, making sure things don't go wrong. The drain outside sometimes changes color depending on what we're cleaning, which is just part of the life in an industrial zone. We take our lunch breaks together under the shade of a small tree that somehow manages to grow near the back fence. It’s a quiet life of measuring, mixing, and shipping out drums to whoever ordered them that week. We just focus on the orders we have and trying to stay out of the way of the bigger units nearby.
