Sadha Starch Industries

Out here in Rasipuram, things move at a different pace. We are located near the factory ATC Depo, so there are always big trucks moving around the area. This is a starch business, which means it can get a bit dusty and the smell is something you have to get used to. I’ve been at this factory for a long time. We process the raw materials and turn them into starch for different uses. The machines are old and they make a lot of rattling noises, but they still work fine. It’s a practical setup. We have a small office at the front where I keep the logbooks. I prefer being out on the floor though. It is more interesting than sitting behind a desk. We don't have a marketing department or anyone to write fancy letters. We just focus on the production. Sometimes the weather affects the drying process, and we have to adjust our schedule. The workers are mostly from the local area, so we all know each other. We have lunch together near the storage sheds. It is a simple industrial life. We aren't trying to change the world, just making starch and keeping the trucks moving. The road to the depo is bumpy, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. It’s just a regular factory doing regular work every day. We just try to keep the quality steady and the floors swept. Sometimes we find a cat sleeping in the warehouse.
