Makhana Foodgrains Private Limited

Our business, Makhana Foodgrains Private Limited, is located in the village of Harishchandrapur in Malda. We work out of a space near Lalita Kedia’s place. It’s a quiet area for the most part, but we keep things moving with all the grains we handle. Dealing with makhana and other foodgrains takes up all our time. We spend our days sorting, drying, and packing things into bags. The 732125 area is where we grew up, so we know most of the farmers around here. We don't have a corporate office or anyone in suits. It’s just us in our work clothes, making sure the grain is stored properly so it doesn't spoil. The weather in Malda can get very hot, so we have to be careful with the storage. We don't use any fancy machinery, mostly just basic stuff that gets the job done. It’s not the kind of work that gets you on the news, but it is important for the local market. My cousins often come by to help during the harvest season when there is too much for us to handle alone. We don't have any big slogans or goals other than finishing the day’s work and getting the bags loaded onto the trucks. It is a practical life and we are happy to be working in our own village.
