The India Sugars & Refineries Ltd.

We are located out in Chitwadgi, which is in the Bellary district. It is a very different vibe out here compared to the big cities. The factory is a large place, and you can see it from a distance. Being in the sugar and refinery business means there is always a lot of activity on the grounds. We have big machines and tall structures that have been here for a long time. It is a dusty and loud environment, but that is just part of the job when you are processing sugar. We have a lot of workers who come in from the surrounding areas every day. The air often smells like molasses and heavy machinery. We don't have a fancy front office; it is mostly just functional spaces for the staff and management. Our days start early when the sun is just coming up over the fields. There is a lot of history in this place, and you can see it in the old brickwork and the worn-down paths between buildings. We don't do much in the way of promotion or anything like that. We just focus on the production and making sure the refinery keeps running. It is a tough industry, and the weather in Bellary can be very hot, which makes the work even harder for the guys on the floor. But we are used to it and just keep going day after day. It’s a lot of physical work and keeping an eye on the boilers.
