Kakatiya Textiles Ltd.

Down in the Nallabandagudem area, you’ll find Kakatiya Textiles Ltd. We are located at Sy No 387Aa and 349. It’s a pretty big site because you need a lot of room for all the textile machinery. The constant sound of the looms is like the heartbeat of the whole building. You don't even hear it anymore after working here for a few months. We aren't some new company. We’ve been around for a while, and the buildings show their age, but they still do the job just fine. There is lint and thread on almost every surface, no matter how much we try to clean it up. It’s just part of the atmosphere of a textile mill. We work with all kinds of fabrics, and the smell of the materials is always hanging in the air. Most of the people who work here live in the village or just a short walk away, so everyone knows everyone else’s name. We don't have any corporate speeches or fancy meetings. We just show up for our shifts and make sure everything is running. Some days the machines break down and we have to spend hours getting things back on track. It’s physical work and it can get really hot in the sheds during the summer. We just keep the water cold and the machines running as best as we can.
