Varalakshmi Starch Industries Pvt Ltd

Varalakshmi Starch Industries Pvt Ltd is based out on Pommini Mani Road in Pappireddipatti. It is a bit of a trek to get to us, but that is the way it is with starch industries because we need the space. The facility is a large, practical building where we process and store our products. Every morning starts with the sound of the machines starting up, which is a noise we have all grown used to over the years. Pappireddipatti is a decent place to work, even if it gets a bit quiet on the weekends. The road outside can be dusty when the tractors are moving past during the harvest season. We do not spend much money on making the office look modern or corporate because that is not really what we are about. We are more interested in the floor where the real work happens and the starch is being moved. The air often has a specific smell that comes with this kind of work, but after a few hours, you do not even notice it anymore. Most of the people who work here are locals from the surrounding villages, so we all know each other pretty well. We have our tea breaks together and talk about the crops or the weather. It is a steady life and we just focus on making sure the orders are ready on time and the equipment stays running.
