Polisetty Somasundaram Tobacco Threshers Private Limited

Our business is called Polisetty Somasundaram Tobacco Threshers Private Limited. We are located at Plot No. 17 on Bal Mukund Mackar Road, right in the heart of the Burrabazar area. If you know Burrabazar, you know how crowded and narrow the streets can be. It’s a constant buzz of people and handcarts moving everywhere. We deal with tobacco threshing, which is a very specific kind of industry. The building we’re in is old, like most things in this part of town. It’s got high ceilings and floors that have seen years of heavy use. We handle the processing of tobacco leaves, which involves a lot of sorting and mechanical work. It can be quite a strong smell if you aren't used to it. We aren't a corporate office with glass walls; we are a working facility with grease on the machines and dust in the air. Most of our transactions are done in the old-fashioned way. We have been part of the trading fabric here for a long time. People find us because they know the address on Bal Mukund Mackar Road. We don't really do marketing; the business just moves along through established channels. It’s hard work in a very busy part of the city. We just focus on keeping the machines running and the orders moving out to the wholesalers. It's a loud, busy place but we get the job done every single day without fail.
