Shrikrishna Pulses Co.

You can find Shrikrishna Pulses Co. at C-3 in the M.I.D.C. area of Khanapur in Degloor. Working in an industrial area like this means there is always something going on, with trucks moving and other workshops nearby. We focus on pulses, which means we spend a lot of time cleaning, sorting, and bagging things like lentils and beans. It is physical work and we are often tired by the time the sun goes down. The space we have is mostly used for storage so that we can keep everything dry and clean. We don't have any fancy air conditioning, just some big fans that keep the air moving while we work. My brother and I run the place along with a few workers from the local village. We have had some tough times when the crop season isn't good, but we manage to pull through by being careful with our spending. Sometimes the machinery breaks down right when we have a big order to finish, which is always a headache. We don't spend money on marketing or anything like that because most of our customers have been buying from us for years. They know what we have and they trust us to give them a fair deal. It’s not a glamorous job, but it is what we know how to do. We just keep our heads down and get the bags ready for the market.
