Mahindra Industries

Our workshop is at E-93 in Focal Point, Phase-Iv. This is the heart of the industrial area in Ludhiana. It’s a place where things are actually made. We have a lot of machines running throughout the day. The smell of oil and metal is everywhere. It isn't a place for suits and ties. Most of us wear work clothes that we don't mind getting dirty. We handle various manufacturing tasks. Ludhiana gets very cold in the winter and incredibly hot in the summer, so the working conditions change quite a bit with the seasons. We have a small tea stall just down the road where everyone goes for a break. The road in Phase-Iv can get pretty bumpy with all the heavy trucks. We spend our time fixing things, making parts, and checking the quality of what we produce. It’s a lot of manual work and standing on your feet. We don't have a big front office or a receptionist. Usually, if someone comes by, one of the guys from the floor will go out to talk to them. We’ve been here for a long time and we know most of the other business owners in this block. We just focus on keeping the machines running and meeting the deadlines we have. It’s a busy life, but it’s what we know. The workday starts early and ends when the shift is done.
