Shubh Food Company

You can find us at Plot No A/38 in the Nice Midc area, right along College Road. It’s an interesting spot because you have all the industrial units on one side and then the college crowd on the other. In the mornings, the road is full of students on scooters and delivery vans trying to get into the Midc. We usually have the gates open by eight. The floors are concrete and they get cold in the winter, but the kitchen area warms up fast. We spend most of our time dealing with flour, spices, or whatever ingredients are coming in. There’s always a list on the wall of what needs to go out by evening. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting heavy sacks and making sure the sealers are working right. Sometimes the electricity goes out and everything stops for a bit, which is just how it goes here. We usually just use that time to have some water and talk. It’s not a big corporate office; it’s just a workspace with a few tables and some basic equipment. We know the guys at the other plots nearby, and sometimes we swap stories over the fence. The traffic on College Road never really lets up until late at night. We just keep our heads down and get the batches finished before the sun sets. The work is repetitive but it keeps us busy and pays the bills.
