Gopalji Ketaki Khara Masala Privatelimited

Starting out in an apartment like Chandrama is a bit cramped but we make it work. We are based in Flat B-O-3 in Kharvel Nagar. Spices are what we do every day. It gets pretty strong in here when we are sorting the khara masala. My grandfather always said a good meal needs the right kick and that's what we try to package up. It's not a big fancy factory, just us and some machines in the block. People around here know where we are. We spend most of the morning weighing things out and checking the quality of the whole spices coming in. Sometimes the lift doesn't work so we carry bags up the stairs. It’s hard work but it keeps us busy. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to provide the stuff people use in their kitchens. Dealing with suppliers can be a headache sometimes but that’s part of the trade. The smell of turmeric and cloves is basically stuck in our clothes now. We’ve been at this address for a while and the neighbors are used to the spice smells coming from our door. It’s just a regular local business trying to get by and keep the quality decent. We handle everything right here in the flat. It’s a lot of paperwork and manual labor mixed together. Most days are long but seeing the finished packets ready to go out makes it okay.
