Shree Saibaba Chemical Industries

Our factory is Plot No. 3709-3, right near the New Telephone Exchange Building. It’s a good landmark because people always get lost in these GIDC lanes. The building is a simple structure with a tin roof that makes a lot of noise when it rains. We handle chemicals here, so we are always wearing our boots and gloves. There’s a lot of stirring and heating involved in our process. The steam rises up to the ceiling and makes the air heavy. We don't have air conditioning, just some big industrial fans that push the warm air around. It’s a bit of a climb to get to the storage area on the mezzanine level. We keep our supplies organized as best as we can, but it’s a tight space. The ledger where we record our daily output is sitting on a wooden stool by the door. We don't have a lot of visitors, mostly just suppliers and the occasional inspector. We spend our mornings checking the inventory and our afternoons loading the finished goods. There is no fancy sign out front, just the name painted on the gate. We’ve been at this for years and we know the rhythms of the neighborhood. Shree Saibaba Chemical Industries is just a place where we put in our hours and try to do things right. It's nothing special to look at, but it works.
