Gulshan Perfumers & Chemical

Our place is in Village Sitara, located in Taluka Niyamatpur. We are quite close to the government college, so we see a lot of students walking by every day. It’s a quiet, rural setting compared to the big cities. We work with perfumes and various chemicals right here in the village. The air around the building usually has a sweet or sharp scent, depending on what we are mixing. It’s a basic brick building with a tin roof. We don't have a lot of high-tech gadgets; most of what we do is done by hand and by eye. We spend a lot of time measuring out oils and checking the clarity of the liquids. Since we are in a village, everyone knows everyone else’s business. We hire local people to help with the bottling and the packing. It’s a slow process, but we aren't in a massive rush. We wait for the supplies to arrive by truck from the town and then we get to work. Sometimes the rain makes the road to the village a bit muddy, which slows things down, but we just manage. We don't have a big corporate office; we just have a small room with a desk and some chairs where we handle the accounts. It’s a peaceful way to work, surrounded by the fields and the college kids.
