Charusheela Mills, Pune

Charusheela Mills has been around for a while now over on Shankar Sheth Road. If you know the PMT Colony area, we’re right there at 3/43. It’s a busy part of Pune, especially with all the traffic coming through. Our space is usually filled with the sound of machines and the smell of fabric. It’s not a quiet place by any means, but that’s just how a mill is. We work on various types of cloth and materials, handling the day-to-day production. The staff here has been with us for years, and we all know each other's names. It's a bit dusty sometimes, and the lighting in the back could be better, but we get the work done. We aren't trying to be the biggest mill in the state, just focusing on the orders we have on hand. Sometimes the power goes out, which is a pain, but we manage. You’ll see us there early in the morning getting everything started. The neighborhood is mostly residential around the colony, so we try to be mindful of that. It’s a practical business. We make things, we pack them, and we send them out. There’s no big secret to it. We just show up, do the shifts, and keep the machines running. It’s what keeps us busy and pays the bills. Nothing more, nothing less. We don't have a fancy showroom, just the factory floor where the actual work happens. It's been like this for years.
