Om Food Products

Our place is in At Post Telsang, which is part of the Athani Taluka in Belgaum district. It’s a rural spot, and we like it that way because we are close to where the food actually grows. We make food products, which means there’s always a lot of washing, cutting, and packing going on. The smell in the facility changes depending on what we are working on that day. Sometimes it’s spices, other times it’s something sweeter. It’s a family-style environment here even though it’s a business. Most of the people working with us live nearby in Telsang or the surrounding villages. We don’t have a big fancy office; we mostly spend our time in the production area making sure the quality is okay. It gets a bit hectic when a big order comes in and we have to stay late to get everything packed. The roads around here aren't always the best, especially when it rains, so getting supplies in can be a challenge. We just take it day by day. We aren't trying to change the world, just making food products that people want to buy. I usually spend my afternoons checking the inventory and making sure the machines are cleaned properly for the next day’s work. It’s a simple life but it keeps us busy and we’re glad to be part of the local community. It’s mostly hard work and long hours, really.
