Mukesh Agarbathi Works

Mukesh Agarbathi Works is based out of the Global Warehousing complex on Dapoda Road. We are in units C-3 and C-4, which is right opposite the Kasturi Complex in Village Rahnal. This whole area around Anjurphata is full of warehouses and trucks. Because we make agarbathi, our units always have a very strong scent of sandalwood and flowers. It’s a smell that sticks to your clothes after a while. Inside, we have rows of workers who are experts at rolling and drying the incense sticks. It’s a manual process that takes a lot of patience. The floors are often covered in the fine powder we use to coat the sticks. We have a lot of space for storage because the bundles of sticks take up a lot of room while they are drying. The warehouse is a bit dark and cool, which is good for the product. We don't have any fancy office furniture, just some basic chairs and a sturdy table for packing. Outside on Dapoda Road, there’s always dust and the sound of heavy engines, but inside it’s a different world. We focus on getting the packaging right so the scent stays fresh for the customers. It’s a steady business and we’ve been at this location for years now. Most of the people here live in the nearby village and walk to work every morning.
