Shivanandi Cold Storage Limited Liability Partnership

You can find us at #84 on the 1st Floor of the Subbarayudu Nilaya building. We are right there at the 1st Cross in Amruthanagar. The main road, Bhuvaneshwari Nagar, is always pretty noisy with the traffic. Shivanandi Cold Storage is what we call ourselves, and as the name says, it stays pretty cold in the storage areas. We have to wear jackets even when it’s boiling outside in Bangalore. It’s a bit of a weird feeling walking from the hot street into the freezing rooms. We spend most of our time monitoring the temperature gauges and making sure the compressors are running like they should. If one of them makes a funny noise, we all get a bit worried. It’s a lot of responsibility keeping things from spoiling. The office upstairs on the first floor is where we do the logs and talk to the drivers. The stairs are a bit steep, so we tell everyone to watch their step. It’s not a big corporate setup, just a few of us making sure the logistics work out. Sometimes we have deliveries coming in at odd hours of the night. We try to keep the place organized, but with pallets moving in and out, it gets a bit messy. It’s honest work, keeping the food fresh for people. We don't do much advertising, mostly just word of mouth around the local markets. It keeps us busy enough throughout the whole week.
