Nandi Packeg Drinking Water

Our place is at Plot No 6 in Nandi Colony. It’s a bit tucked away in Damiagra, so you have to look closely for the sign. We deal with packaged water. It’s mostly just keeping the filters clean and the bottles moving on the line. The colony is usually busy with people walking around and kids playing. We started this business because we saw that people needed more options for clean water in the neighborhood. We aren't a huge factory with hundreds of workers, just a local spot with five of us. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon and we have to wait for the old generator to kick in. It’s a bit loud and smelly then. We spend a lot of time checking the seals on the caps to make sure they don't leak in the trucks. It’s repetitive work but it has to be done right. My neighbor’s son works with us during his college breaks to earn some extra cash. We have a small desk for paperwork in the corner, but mostly we are on our feet on the concrete floor. The floors are always a bit wet from the washing process, so we wear thick rubber boots all day. We don't do big advertisements or billboards. Most people just see our sign at the end of the road near the turning. It’s a practical business that keeps us busy. I’m usually the one answering the phone and moving heavy crates at the same time. We just keep at it.
