Deepak Avanti Enterprises

You can find us in the Kapadia Estate Building, specifically at Gala No. 3. We are right beside the Domino's Pizza near Sangam Cinema. It’s a busy area in Andheri East with lots of traffic on the Andheri Kurla Road. Working in a gala means space is always at a premium. We have bags stacked up almost to the ceiling sometimes. The sound of the cinema crowds and the smell from the pizza shop next door are just part of our day. Inside, it is all about the machinery and the grain. We spend a lot of time cleaning out the grinders so the different flours don't mix too much. It is not a flashy setup. We have some benches for people to sit on if they are waiting, but most people just stand around and talk. The floor is usually covered in a fine powder no matter how much we sweep. It gets into your clothes and your hair by the end of the shift. We handle a lot of volume here because of the location in Amrut Nagar. Some days are smoother than others. When a machine breaks down, it’s a real headache because the queue starts to build up out the door. We just keep our heads down and keep the machines running. It is practical work and we have been at it for years in this estate, just getting the job done for the locals.
