Raj Shree Gruh Udyog

Raj Shree Gruh Udyog is located on Plot No-7 in the Alakhdham area, just off Indore Road. We are tucked away behind the Swarg Sundar Pocket. This is a "gruh udyog," which means it’s a home-based industry. We focus on traditional food items that people usually make at home but don't have the time for anymore. Our workspace is essentially a large, clean kitchen and a packaging area. It’s a lot of manual labor—sorting, cleaning, and packing by hand. We have a few local women who come in to help every day. There is always a lot of talking and laughter while we work, which makes the day go by faster. The smell of roasted grains and spices is always in the air. Since we are behind the main road, it’s actually quite peaceful here compared to the noise of the Indore traffic. We have to be very careful with hygiene, so we spend a lot of time scrubbing surfaces and washing containers. It’s not a big factory with assembly lines. It’s just tables and scales and lots of plastic bags. Sometimes we run out of storage space and have to move things into the hallway. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze, but we’ve managed to make it work for a long time. We just do things the way they’ve always been done. We have a small cat that hangs around the backyard and keeps us company during the quiet times.
