Ashoka Foam Multiplast Limited

Out here on Faridpur Road in Vill. Dahlau, you’ll find Ashoka Foam Multiplast Limited. We’re a bit away from the main city buzz, which is actually kind of nice. The air is a bit clearer, even if the road gets a bit muddy during the monsoon season. We started this place because there was a need for foam and plastic goods around here. The factory is quite a large space, mostly because the materials we work with take up a lot of room. If you walk through the doors, you’ll probably smell the materials right away—it's a very specific scent that you get used to after a week or so. We have people from the village working here, and it feels a bit like a big family, even when we’re arguing about the schedules. It’s not a corporate environment. We wear work clothes and we’re not afraid to lift heavy boxes ourselves. Most of our days are spent checking the machines and making sure everything looks right and works correctly. We don’t use a lot of big words to describe what we do. We make foam, we make plastic, and we try to do it right the first time. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait around, which gives us time for a tea break. That’s just life out here. We’re just a bunch of people trying to run a steady business on Faridpur Road.
