X- Agro Food Tech Private Limited

This place is out in Hoal, near Kaij. It’s where Ankush Ramrao Shende decided to start this food tech business. We aren't some big city corporation with glass walls. We work out of a modest building here in the village. Most of the folks working here live just a few minutes away. We focus on how food gets processed and handled after it leaves the field. It’s a lot of trial and error sometimes. One day the machinery works perfect, the next day we’re spending hours fixing a belt. That’s just how it goes with food tech. We spend a lot of time looking at grains and vegetables. The weather in Kaij can be pretty rough, which affects everything we do. We try to keep things moving even when it's pouring rain outside. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just sit and talk until it comes back on. It’s a local operation through and through. We know the families around here and they know us. We don’t spend money on fancy brochures or shiny advertisements. Most people find out about us just by stopping by and seeing what’s happening in the yard. It’s a steady job for us. We handle the agro side of things and try to make sure nothing goes to waste. It’s quiet out here in Hoal, but we stay pretty busy from sunrise to sunset. There is always a truck being loaded or a new batch being sorted in the back.
