Yallaling Dall Industries

Our unit is over in the second stage of the industrial area in the Gulbarga district. Being in an industrial zone means it's pretty loud with all the different factories running at the same time. We process dal here, so there are always machines humming in the background and the smell of lentils in the air. It’s a dusty place because of the milling process, but that’s just how it goes in this line of work. We have a small team of workers who have been with us for a long time. They know how to handle the equipment and keep things moving. Most days involve unloading raw pulses from trucks and then getting the finished product packed into sacks. We don't have a big office or anything like that, just a small space to keep the records and sit down for a tea break. The heat in Gulbarga can be quite intense, especially in the middle of the day, so the shed gets pretty warm. We try to get the heavy work done early in the morning before it gets too bad. People come and go throughout the day, mostly transporters and local buyers. It’s a practical environment where the focus is just on getting the milling done right. You get used to the constant vibration of the machinery and the sight of yellow and red lentils everywhere. We just focus on our daily tasks and keeping the machines maintained.
