Swastik Industries

You can find Swastik Industries on the 2nd Floor of Plot No 11 D in Ida Gandhinagar. We’re right there in the Balanagar area of Hyderabad. Being on the second floor means we’re lugging things up and down the stairs quite a bit, but we’ve gotten used to the workout. It’s a busy industrial area, so there’s always something going on downstairs or in the neighboring plots. We’ve been here for several years now, just slowly adding more equipment as we could afford it. The space is a bit cramped because we try to fit a lot in, but we know where everything is. It’s not a place for visitors who are looking for a polished lobby. It’s a working shop. We have a few desks near the window where the light is better for doing the accounts. The rest of the floor is for the actual work. We have a small group of workers, and we all know each other’s families. We’re just trying to make a living and do right by the people who buy from us. Sometimes the power goes out in Balanagar, and we all just sit outside for a bit until it comes back on. It’s those moments when we actually get a chance to talk about something other than the job. We don’t have a big mission statement. We just want to finish the day’s work and make sure it’s done properly before we lock up the shutters.
