Lakshmi Food & Bevarages

We run Lakshmi Food & Bevarages out of our place in Mallapur, over in the Nacharam area. It’s an industrial sort of neighborhood, so there’s always trucks and noise around. We’ve got a decent-sized space here for all the food and drink items we handle. It isn't anything fancy to look at, just a practical building where we get the work done. Some days are longer than others, especially when a big delivery comes in and we have to sort everything out. We don't have a marketing team or anyone to write fancy stuff for us. We just do the work. My brother and I started this up, and now we have a couple of guys who help us with the heavy lifting. The Nacharam area is good for us because it’s easy for transport. We spend most of our time checking inventory and making sure everything is where it needs to be. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit behind, but we catch up on the weekends. It’s a lot of sweating and moving around. We don't really care about having a polished look. As long as the products are handled right, that’s what matters to us. We’ve had some tough months, but we keep the lights on and keep moving forward. It’s a local business and we’re proud of just being here every morning. It’s not much, but it’s our living. We know everyone on this block now.
