Jyothi Flour Mills

Down at 624, Dechur Road in Madikeri, you’ll find Jyothi Flour Mills. Madikeri can be a bit damp and cool, which is actually nice when you’re working around heavy machinery that gets hot. We are just a local mill doing what mills do. The building is older, and it has some character, like the squeaky door that we never seem to get around to oiling. People come in from all over the local area with their grain. We don’t have much in the way of a front office, it’s basically just the work area and a small bench for people to sit on while they wait. The smell of fresh flour is always in the air here. It’s a simple life. We start early, get the machines humming, and watch the bags fill up. Sometimes the rain in Madikeri is so loud on the roof we can barely hear ourselves think. But we just keep at it. We aren't trying to be the biggest or most modern place around. We just want to make sure the flour is ground right for the families who rely on us. It is honest work, and it keeps us busy from morning till night. Most of the people who come here are regulars we've known for years. We don't have many employees, so it’s usually the same faces you see every time you walk through the door on Dechur Road.
