Channa Sons(India)

Up here in Ludhiana, specifically in Industrial Area B, things never really stop moving. At Channa Sons(India), we’ve gotten used to the constant background noise of the other factories nearby. Our place is at number 505. It’s a typical industrial setup with high ceilings and plenty of dust that seems to settle on everything no matter how much you clean. We spend a lot of time on our feet, moving between the different sections of the floor. It gets quite hot in the summer months, and those big industrial fans don't always do the trick, but we get through it with a lot of cold water and short breaks. My father used to say that work is what keeps a person grounded, and that’s definitely the vibe here. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. It’s just a group of us working hard every day to get the orders sorted and out the door. The roads around Industrial Area B are always torn up or under repair, so getting the trucks in and out can be a real headache sometimes. You learn to be patient with the traffic and the noise. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps the lights on and the families fed. Lunch usually happens around the small table in the back where we share whatever we brought from home. It’s basic, honest work. We’ve been part of this Ludhiana landscape for a long time, and we know most of the guys in the neighboring units by their first names.
