Ashtavinayak Processors

Ashtavinayak Processors is based at Plot No. 109/C, Nirmal Industrial Estate, Unit No. 201, Sion East. It’s an industrial area, so there are always trucks moving in and out of the estate. Our unit is on the second floor, and you can usually hear the sound of the processors hum through the floorboards. We have a team of people who watch over the machines to make sure everything is being processed correctly. It’s repetitive work, but it requires a lot of attention so nothing goes wrong. The air inside can get a bit warm because of all the equipment running, but we have some fans to keep things moving. We don't have a lot of decorations on the walls, just some calendars and safety notices. Lunchtime is when we all sit together and talk about normal things, like cricket or the weather. Sion East is a busy part of town, and the traffic can be a nightmare, so we all try to start our day early. We’ve been in this unit for quite a while and we know all the other business owners in the building. It’s a community of people just trying to get their work done. When the machines finally turn off at the end of the shift, the silence feels a bit strange. We lock up the gates and head out into the busy Mumbai evening. We just come back and do it all again tomorrow.
