Spark Helmets Pvt. Ltd.

Being at No. 1, Arcot Road puts us right in the middle of everything in Valasaravakkam. Spark Helmets Pvt. Ltd. is easy to find if you know where Alwarthirunagar is. The building isn't new, but it holds up. Inside, there are stacks of helmet shells and foam liners everywhere you look. It can get pretty hot during the Chennai summers, and the warehouse area feels it the most. We spend our days making sure the straps are tight and the visors aren't scratched. It’s repetitive, but it’s what we do. The staff here mostly lives nearby, so we talk about the local news while we work. We don't have a big corporate setup. It’s more of a family feel where everyone chips in. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the entrance on Arcot Road and we have to scramble to move things around. We drink a lot of water and try to stay cool while the machines are running. It's a lot of physical labor, lifting boxes and moving pallets. You won't find any fancy rugs or art on the walls here. Just the tools and the materials needed for the helmets. We focus on the daily tally and hope the rain doesn't flood the street too bad.
