Anantha Modern Rice Mill

Anantha Modern Rice Mill sits right near the railway crossing on G.T. Road in Malout. This part of the road is almost always busy with trucks and buses passing through. It can be quite loud between the traffic on G.T. Road and the trains passing by the crossing. We have been running things here for a good amount of time. The mill is a big, functional space. It isn't painted in bright colors or anything; it’s just a sturdy building that handles a lot of grain. Most of our day is spent watching the machinery or loading up bags. We see a lot of people coming through Malout because of the location. Sometimes the traffic at the crossing backs up right in front of our gate. It gives people a chance to look at the sign, I suppose. The air around here usually smells like toasted grain. It’s a familiar scent for everyone who works here. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. We just have the people who show up and do the work every morning. It gets dusty and hot, especially in the summer months, but that’s just the nature of a rice mill. We have a small area where we sit and have tea during breaks. It’s a simple setup. We know the locals and the farmers who bring their crops here. We've been a part of this roadside landscape for years now.
