Shyam Enterprises

Our main base is over in Vill-Agwanpur, not too far from the Baghola post office in Palwal. To find the place, you have to drive past the village school and look for the big iron gate. We handle all sorts of enterprise work, which means the yard is usually crowded with different types of materials. Haryana weather is pretty extreme, so we deal with biting cold in the winter and dusty heat during the summer months. The office is a basic concrete structure with a tin roof that makes a huge racket whenever it rains. We have some computers for the records, but most things are still written down in notebooks. Everyone in the village knows us, and we are on good terms with the local truck drivers who pass through. It is not the cleanest place, as there is always some scrap or empty crates lying around the corners. We don't bother with fancy mission statements or logos on the walls because that doesn't help us get the job done. Our day starts at eight in the morning and we stay until the work is finished. Sometimes that means staying late under the yard lights, and other times we finish early if a shipment is delayed. It is just a straightforward business run by regular people who grew up in this area. We just try to keep things moving along without much trouble.
