Lakshmi Venkateswara Dall Industries

Our place is at 1-644 in Vitam Rajupalli, which is part of Vinukonda. Lakshmi Venkateswara Dall Industries is basically a mill where we process different types of pulses. It is noisy and dusty work, but it’s what we do every day. We spend most of our time around the big machines that clean and split the dall. It’s a lot of heavy lifting with the sacks, and the air always smells like raw grain. We don't have a marketing department or a fancy website. We just focus on the processing work here at our facility. The building isn't anything special to look at, just a functional space for the equipment and storage. During the harvest season, things get really hectic. There are trucks coming in and out of Vitam Rajupalli all day long. We have to stay on top of everything to make sure the dall is processed correctly. Sometimes a machine acts up and we have to spend half the day fixing it, which is frustrating but it happens. We are just local people working in the industry we know. We don't talk about excellence or anything like that; we just try to make sure the bags are filled and ready on time. It is a simple business, really. We’ve been here in Vinukonda for a long time and the locals know where to find us. We just keep our heads down and keep the mill running, hoping for a good crop each season.
