Konarak Industries

Down here in Kozhikode, we’ve got Konarak Industries set up right by the NIT Campus. We are on N.H. 121, so there is always a lot of traffic passing by, from students on scooters to big interstate lorries. The post office for the campus is our main landmark. The weather here is either very hot or very rainy, so we spend a lot of time adjusting to the climate. Our building is a standard industrial setup. It’s functional and doesn't have any decorations. We mostly focus on manufacturing and making sure the production line keeps moving. The noise from the highway is something you just get used to after a week or so. We have a small crew of locals who work here, and we usually have tea together under the shade of the eaves when we take a break. Being near a big college like NIT gives the area a bit of energy, though we mostly stick to our own business. The work is repetitive but it’s what we know how to do. We don't have any big corporate goals or anything; we just want to make sure the orders are filled and the machines don't break down on a Monday morning. It’s a straightforward life in a beautiful part of Kerala, even if we are mostly looking at metal and concrete all day long.
