Indian Writing Instrument Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is located at W-61 in the Midc area of Satpur. Being in an industrial zone means there is always a lot of noise and trucks moving around outside. We make pens and other writing tools here. It’s not a glamorous job, but it is what we do every day. The factory floor is where most of the work happens, with the machines running pretty much all the time to keep up with the orders. We have a small team of people who have been with us for years, and they know exactly how the equipment works. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we have to spend the whole afternoon getting it back up and running, which can be frustrating but that's just part of the business. We aren't a huge corporation with a glass building; we are just a regular company in a metal shed in Satpur. We focus on getting the ink and the plastic parts to fit together correctly so the pens don't leak when people use them. A lot of our day is spent checking the quality of the batches and making sure we have enough raw materials in the warehouse. It gets quite hot in the summer months under the tin roof, but we just keep the fans going and stay busy. We’ve seen many other businesses come and go in this part of Midc, but we just stay here and keep making our products. It's a long day from start to finish but it keeps the lights on for us.
