Aabesh Namkeen Private Limited

Aabesh Namkeen Private Limited is situated in Jainamore, at a place known as Bandhdih. We operate out of Damodar Prasad House, which we share with Sandeep Kumar. It is a local spot, very much rooted in the community here. If you know the area, you know it’s a lot of small shops and houses bunched together. We make namkeen, which is basically the local snacks everyone eats with their tea. Our day usually starts with the smell of frying and spices. It’s hard work, especially when it’s hot outside and we are near the stoves. We don't have any polished brochures or fancy websites. We just make the snacks and sell them. The house where we are located is a sturdy old building. It’s not meant to be a corporate headquarters, just a place to work. Sometimes we sit outside during the breaks and watch the people go by in Bandhdih. There is always a lot of chatter and movement around Jainamore. We focus on getting the flavors right, though sometimes a batch might be a little different than the last one, which is just how it goes with handmade stuff. We are just local people making local food for local folks. It’s nothing more and nothing less than that. We just hope the bags of namkeen get to where they are going on time. It is a humble living and we are okay with that.
