Madhav Industries (Kiwi Soda )

Our factory is located on Motitalav Road in Bhavnagar, right across from the main landmark there. The address is 51/B. We make soda here, mostly known as Kiwi Soda around these parts. The machines for bottling are always clinking and buzzing. It is a pretty straightforward setup. We have the mixing tanks and the carbonation units lined up along the walls. The floor is usually a bit wet from the washing process, so everyone wears rubber boots. We have a small team of guys who handle the loading and unloading of the crates. It gets very busy in the summer months when everyone is thirsty. Sometimes we can barely keep up with the orders from the local shops. The office is just a corner with a desk and a few chairs where we handle the bills. We aren't trying to be some massive international brand. We just want to make a drink that people in Bhavnagar like to have with their lunch. The ingredients come in through the back gate, and the filled bottles go out the front. We’ve had some of the same machines for a long time, and they need a bit of grease and attention to keep running smooth. It’s a local business through and through. Most of us live just a short walk or bike ride away from the factory. We start early when it’s still cool outside and try to get the heavy work done before noon.
