Santalum Farms Private Limited

Our office is at 204, Indira Arcade on Residency Road in Sadar, Nagpur. It is a busy part of the city, and the traffic noise is something we just got used to over the years. We focus on Santalum, which most people know as sandalwood. Farming this isn't like growing vegetables where you see results in a few months. It is a long game. We spend a lot of our time out at the actual farms, checking on the growth and dealing with the soil. Then we come back here to this office to handle the paperwork and the permits. Nagpur gets incredibly hot in the summer, and sometimes the air conditioning in the building struggles to keep up. We are just a small group of people who have been doing this for a while. It’s not a fancy operation. Our desks are a bit old and the files are stacked high. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone to write pretty speeches. We just know about trees and the time it takes for them to mature. Sometimes the harvest is good, sometimes it is not. That is just how nature works. We try to be straight with people about the timelines because you cannot rush a tree. It’s a lot of waiting and a lot of manual labor. We like the work, even when the days are long and the sun is brutal. We keep things simple and just keep working.
