Bhagwati Tirath Polycontainers Ind Pvt. Ltd.

Our workshop is tucked away in Pragati Industrial Estate. It’s unit 333, right on N. M. Joshi Marg in Lower Parel East. This area has changed so much, with all the big malls and glass buildings, but this estate still feels like the old Mumbai. We make polycontainers here. It’s noisy, dusty, and there is always something being moved around. We’ve been in this spot for a long time. The machines are old but they run fine as long as we keep an eye on them. We don’t have a fancy reception area. If you come by, you’ll probably see us in our work clothes, maybe covered in a bit of dust. It’s honest work. We deal with a lot of local businesses who need packaging. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make good containers that don't leak. The lanes inside the estate are narrow, so parking is a nightmare. Most of us just take the train to Lower Parel and walk from there. We drink a lot of chai from the guy downstairs. There are stacks of plastic everywhere, and the smell of the machines is something you get used to. We don't have a marketing team. Most of our customers have been coming to us for decades. It’s just a small group of people working hard in a crowded part of the city. We keep things moving and try to stay busy. It is what it is.
