Capricon Foods

Down here in Satyaveedu, in the Chitoor District, life moves at a different pace than the big cities. Capricon Foods is based out here where there’s a bit more space to breathe. We spend a lot of time in the warehouse area, making sure everything is stored properly and the temperature is right. It gets really hot in this part of the country, so we are always checking the cooling systems. The staff is mostly local people from the nearby villages who walk or bike over in the mornings. We don’t have a polished front office with a receptionist. Usually, if you show up, you’ll just find one of us walking around with a clipboard checking the crates. There’s always the smell of whatever we are processing that day hanging in the air. Some days are incredibly busy with trucks lining up outside the gate, and other days are a bit slower, giving us time to clean the equipment and catch up on maintenance. We have a small break room where we sit and eat our tiffins together. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady work and it keeps the community going. We don’t use a lot of big words or have fancy meetings. We just look at what needs to be packed and we get it done before the sun goes down.
