Gulati Plastic Works

We’ve been here at Patparganj Industrial Area 197 for quite a while now. It’s a busy spot, mostly full of trucks and people moving things around all day. The workshop is usually a bit dusty because of the machines running, and the heat in summer is really something else. We just get on with it. My father started things and now we just keep the machines going. We deal with all sorts of plastic stuff, mainly for industrial use. The floor is always covered in scraps and the smell of raw material is everywhere, but that’s just how it is. Sometimes the power goes out, so we sit outside on plastic stools and wait for it to come back. It’s not a fancy place, just a regular factory floor with high ceilings and heavy doors. Most of our neighbors are doing similar work, so we all know each other. If you walk past unit 197, you’ll probably hear the humming of the cutters. We don't really do much office work, mostly we are on our feet checking the output. It gets loud, so we have to shout over the noise sometimes. Usually, we wrap things up by late evening and head home. It's just a simple life here in the industrial area. We don't have a big front desk or anyone to greet you, just the workers and the stacks of finished goods waiting to be loaded onto the tempos. It's hard work, but it's our living.
