Jay Khodiyar Industries

Thavarekere is a busy spot in Bangalore, and we are tucked away here on the 1st floor at Cashier Layout. V.S. Premkumar is the person whose name is on the lease, and we operate as Jay Khodiyar Industries from this unit at 54/1. The 1st Cross is usually tight with vehicles and delivery bikes, especially during the morning rush. It is not a massive factory or anything like that, just an ordinary workplace where we have our tables and equipment set up. The light coming through the side window is actually quite good in the afternoons, though it gets a bit warm. Sometimes the power goes out, which is common here, so we just take a break and wait it out. It is a simple place where we spend most of our daylight hours. The address is easy enough to find if you know the layout, but the stairs are a bit narrow, so we have to be careful when we are moving heavy things up or down. We keep our tools organized on the shelves, or at least we try to. Most of the staff here have been around for a long time and we know the local tea shops by heart. It’s not a fancy office with glass walls, just a practical space where the work happens. We don't even have a big sign outside, so you really have to look for the number. It feels like a second home to us.
