Pepsico India Holdings Pvt. Ltd. Kolkata Plant

This plant is out in Harindanga, near the Falta police station. If you are coming from Kolkata, it’s a bit of a drive out to South 24 Parganas. We are tucked away in the Village Harindanga area. It is a busy site, mostly because we have so much going on with the Pepsico production lines. The air is different out here than in the city, a bit more open, though the plant itself stays noisy with all the machines running. We have been here in this part of West Bengal for a good while. Most of the people working here come from the nearby villages like Chaberia. We don't really bother with fancy decorations or corporate talk. It’s just a factory where we make sure the bottles and snacks get moved out on time. The roads around here can get a bit muddy during the monsoon season, which makes the truck schedules a bit of a headache, but we find a way to deal with it. It is a big operation but we try to keep it simple. Everyone knows their job and we just get on with it. There is a lot of heavy lifting and long hours, especially when demand goes up in the summer. We aren't trying to be anything we aren't. We are just a local plant in the 743514 pin code area doing our daily business. It’s a practical place for practical work. Nothing more to it, really. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
