Hanuman Udyog

Being out here in Buldana District means we are close to the farms. We’ve been running this small unit for a while now. It’s a simple setup with a few machines and a shed for storage. The power can be a bit unreliable in this part of the district, so we have to plan our work around the supply. Most of the people working here are from the nearby villages. We know their families and they know ours. It’s a very local operation. We don't spend money on advertising because people just know where we are located. The work involves a lot of lifting and manual sorting. We deal with agricultural products mostly. In the summers, the heat is pretty intense under the tin roof, so we start very early in the morning and take a long break in the afternoon when it gets unbearable. It’s a quiet life for the most part. The roads around here can be rough during the monsoon, which makes getting goods in and out a bit of a challenge for the tractor drivers. We just take it day by day. There is always something to fix, whether it’s a loose belt on a motor or a patch on the wall that needs some attention. It isn't a glamorous business but it’s honest work. We provide work for the local guys and keep the machinery running as best as we can. We usually close up before it gets too dark.
