Upper India Tannery (P) Ltd

Upper India Tannery (P) Ltd is located at 38/32 in Jajmau. If you’ve ever been to this part of town, you know it’s the heart of the leather trade. Our tannery isn’t a modern, silent factory. It’s loud, wet, and there’s always something moving. We have these big drums that rotate, and the sound of them is like background music for us. The ground is often damp because of the processes we use, so everyone wears heavy boots. It’s physical work, and it can get pretty hot in the summer months when the sun beats down on the roof. We’ve been at this address for a long time, and the building reflects that history. There are stains on the floor and wear on the machinery that show how much leather has passed through here. We don’t have a marketing team or a fancy lobby. If you come by, you’ll probably find the manager with his sleeves rolled up, right there with everyone else. We focus on the raw hides and getting them ready, which is a long and messy process. It takes patience and a lot of sweat. We take our breaks under the shade of the small tree near the entrance when we can. It’s not the kind of job for everyone, but it’s what we know how to do. We just stay focused on the leather and the daily grind without making a big deal about it.
