KAMAKSHI INTEGRATED TEXTILES PARK PRIVATE LIMITED

If you head down to Ichalkaranji, you will find us at Gate number 1356/59 in the Yasholaxminagar area of Kabnoor. This is a big textile park, so there is always the sound of machinery and looms running in the background. It is a very industrious place. We have a lot of space here compared to the small shops in the city. The floors are concrete and we have large sections dedicated to different parts of the textile process. It gets quite hot in the afternoons under the large roof, but the workers are used to it. We deal with a lot of movement—trucks coming in with raw materials and leaving with finished goods. There is always a layer of lint in the air, which is just part of the textile life in Ichalkaranji. We aren't trying to be fancy; we are just a part of the local industry here. Most of us live nearby and walk or ride bikes to the gate every morning. We keep track of the production schedules on big boards and try to make sure everything stays on track. It's a lot of physical work and managing the day-to-day operations of a park like this. We just focus on getting the fabric made and out the door to wherever it is going next. The noise of the looms is like a steady heartbeat for our working day.
