Tvs Srichakra Ltd

Our place is out in Vellaripatti, over in Melur Taluk. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, but we like the extra space we have out here. We work with tyres and various rubber products. It’s hard work and the factory floor can get pretty hot, especially in the summer months when the sun is beating down. We have a lot of local people working with us, which is nice because it feels like a real community. You can smell the rubber as soon as you get close to the gate. We spend our days making sure the production lines are moving and that the quality is where it needs to be. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s important. People need good tyres to get around safely on these roads. We have a canteen where we all eat lunch together, and that’s usually the loudest and best part of the day. The machines make a lot of noise, so we have to use earplugs on the floor. We aren't much for fancy words or corporate talk. We just focus on the rubber and the moulds. Sometimes things break down and we have to stay late to fix them before the next shift starts. That’s just life in a factory like ours. We’ve been in Vellaripatti for quite a while now and we’re part of the landscape. It’s a steady rhythm of work that keeps us going year after year.
