K. K. S. Herbs Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is at Plot No. 394 in Industrial Area Phase 2. It’s a typical industrial spot with lots of trucks and noise all day long. When you walk into K. K. S. Herbs Pvt. Ltd., the first thing you notice is the smell of the raw plants. Depending on what we are processing that day, it might be sweet or very sharp. We have big bags of herbs stacked up against the walls. It’s a lot of manual labor, moving things around and making sure they stay dry. The floor is just plain concrete and it gets pretty cold in the winter. We have a few machines that help with the grinding and mixing, but they need a lot of looking after. Sometimes a belt breaks and everything stops until we can get it fixed. Our office is just a small room with a couple of chairs and a lot of files. We deal with various suppliers, and the phone seems to ring at the most inconvenient times. Industrial Area Phase 2 is a busy part of town, so there is always something going on outside our gate. We aren't doing anything high-tech here, just traditional processing and packing. Every afternoon we spend time checking the labels and making sure the boxes are ready for the courier. It’s a steady rhythm that we’ve gotten used to over the years. We just try to keep things organized and get through the pile of work.
