Sri Sai Feed Corporation

The area around Chowk Division No 3 is always moving, and things never really slow down. Sri Sai Feed Corporation sits on Benjamin Road, and if you come by, you’ll likely hear the sound of heavy bags being dropped onto the concrete floor. We deal in animal feed for the local farmers. It’s a dusty business, and by the end of the day, our clothes are usually covered in some kind of grain dust or bits of sack. We’ve been in Ludhiana for years, and this location works well for the trucks coming in and out. It isn't a glamorous job at all. We spend a lot of time checking the quality of the bags and making sure nothing has gotten damp from the rain. The smell of grain is everywhere here. It’s something you get used to after a week of working here. Customers come from the surrounding villages to load up their small tempos or carts. We help them load up, talk about how the livestock is doing this season, and then get back to the paperwork. The office is just a small desk in the corner with piles of receipts and a phone that rings too much. We don’t bother with much decoration. The walls are plain and the lighting is just whatever works. It’s a practical place for practical people. When the sun finally goes down and the traffic on Benjamin Road thins out, we close up the shutters and head home. It’s a long day, but it’s ours.
