Megafoods Products Madras (P) Ltd

Our unit is located at D-3 in the Sidco Industrial Estate over in Ambattur. If you know the area, you know it’s a lot of factories and sheds, and we are right in the middle of it. Megafoods Products Madras has been operating out of this spot for a good while. Inside, it’s usually quite warm because of the processing equipment, but we’re used to the heat by now. We spend our time making various food products, which means we have to be very careful about cleaning everything constantly. There is a specific rhythm to the day, starting with the morning shift arrival and ending with the final wash-down of the floors. We have a small team from the surrounding neighborhoods who walk or bike in every day. The industrial estate is a noisy place with trucks constantly rumbling past our gates, but we just focus on what’s happening on our own production lines. We don't spend money on fancy signage or nice lobby furniture because that's not what we're about. Most of our work is about making sure the ingredients are right and the packaging is sealed properly. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to scramble to get the generators running so nothing spoils. It is a bit of a grind, but there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing the crates get loaded up at the end of the shift. We just do our jobs and go home to our families.
