Down at Sy No.15 in Thangadapally, things are a bit different than the city. We are part of the B.N. Reddy Industrial Area in Choutuppal, so it’s mostly warehouses and factories around us. Dust gets everywhere. It's especially bad when the wind picks up across the open land. We’ve been operating under this name for a long time now. It’s a family-run sort of thing and we don't see any reason to change how we do things. Most of our day is spent talking to drivers and making sure the loading happens on time. The sun gets really hot out here in the afternoons and the shed doesn't offer much relief, but we get on with it anyway. We have a small room we call the office where we keep the records. It’s just shelves and a couple of old fans. People come from the nearby villages to work here and we’ve become a bit of a fixture in the local area. We don't have any grand plans to expand or take over the market. We just want to keep the current customers happy and make sure the bills are paid. Sometimes the machinery breaks and we have to spend all day getting it back up. It is just part of the job. There’s a lot of heavy lifting involved. We aren't afraid of getting our hands dirty. It’s honest work in a tough environment and we are fine with that.
