Ravi Kumar Enterprises

If you’re looking for Ravi Kumar Enterprises, you have to head into the Jalahalli Bharat Compound and look for No.1611. It’s a bit of a maze back here with all the different buildings and the trucks coming and going. Our space is basically a big room with high ceilings where we keep all our supplies. We have stuff stacked up on wooden pallets, and we try to keep a path clear so people can walk through without tripping. It’s a bit drafty in the mornings, so we usually have some hot tea while we go over the list of things to do. The walls are painted an old shade of grey that’s starting to peel in some corners. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing things down in ledgers. It is not the kind of place you’d find in a mall. It is a working warehouse where things get moved and loaded onto trucks every few hours. We know most of the drivers by name and we hear all their stories about the roads. The paperwork can be a headache sometimes, especially when a shipment is late or something gets counted wrong. We just keep at it until the day is over. It’s quiet once the main gates of the compound close for the evening. We lock up our section and head home, ready to do the same thing the next day.
