Mahendra Industries

If you go to 46 Udyog Nagar in Palda, that’s where you’ll find Mahendra Industries. We are right in the heart of the industrial area. It’s a place where people are actually making things. There’s always the sound of metal or the hum of engines in the background. Our unit is number 46, and we’ve been here long enough that the walls have a bit of grime on them. We don't mind it, though. It shows we’ve been busy. The office is just a small room partitioned off from the main workspace. It’s where we keep the ledgers and answer the phone. Most of the time, the owner is out on the floor with everyone else rather than sitting behind a desk. We don’t use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. We just make sure the quality is decent and the orders go out on time. Palda is a tough area sometimes, with the dust and the heavy traffic, but it’s where the work is. We have a few guys who have been with us for over a decade. They know the machines better than anyone else here. We don’t have any big corporate goals; we just want to keep the lights on and the business running for another year. It’s practical, everyday work. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to provide for our families.
