Sri Shakhi Flour Mill

Sri Shakhi Flour Mill is over on Cottonpet Main Road in Bangalore. You can usually hear the machines running before you even see the door. It’s a noisy place because the grinders are almost always going. We’ve been at this address on Cottonpet Main Road for quite a while now. People bring their grains here and we process them while they wait or they come back later. The air inside is always a bit dusty with flour, but that’s just how a mill is. We don’t have a big office or a waiting room. Most people just stand near the entrance and talk while the machines do the work. It’s a very practical kind of business. We don’t use fancy packaging; people usually bring their own bags or containers. Bengaluru is changing fast, with big malls everywhere, but a lot of people still prefer coming to a local mill like ours. It feels more traditional. We work long hours, especially during festival seasons when everyone needs extra flour for cooking. The machines need a lot of maintenance to keep them running smoothly. We do most of that ourselves. It’s hard work and your hands get tired by the end of the day. But we like being part of the community here on Cottonpet Main Road. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living for a family. We just keep the wheels turning day after day.
