Sri Sai Srinivas Rice Industries

Over at Shop No-847 on Bellary Road in Siruguppa, you will find Sri Sai Srinivas Rice Industries. Being on the Bellary Road means we get a lot of truck traffic and noise throughout the day. Our business is focused on rice, and that means we spend most of our time around big piles of grain and large scales. The warehouse part of the building is quite large because we need the space to store the bags before they get shipped out. It’s a very functional space, not designed for looks, with high ceilings and heavy doors. The floor is often covered in a thin layer of fine dust from the rice, so we have to wear sturdy shoes to keep our grip. We have a small area near the entrance where we talk to the people coming in to buy or sell. There is a lot of shouting sometimes just to be heard over the sound of the vehicles passing by outside. We keep a regular schedule, starting when the sun comes up and finishing when the last truck is loaded. It’s hard work, especially when the weather is hot, but we have a good rhythm going. We don’t bother with advertisements or anything like that; the trucks coming and going are enough to let people know we are here. Most of the guys working here have been doing this for years, so we know the process inside and out.
