Innoventive Industries

Khed is a bit of a drive from the main city, and out here at plot 286, it’s mostly industrial stuff and open spaces. Innoventive Industries is basically a big shed where we make things. It’s not one of those high-tech places you see in the news with people in white lab coats. We have older machines that still run fine if you know how to talk to them. The floor is concrete and has a few cracks from where we moved the heavy equipment last summer. We mostly deal with metal parts for other businesses. Every morning, the tea guy comes by with his kettle, and that’s when we take our first real break. It gets quiet for ten minutes before the noise starts up again. We have a small crew here. Most of the guys have been here since the start, so they know exactly where every tool is kept even if the place looks cluttered. We don't use fancy software for everything; sometimes a pencil and a piece of paper on the workbench works better for figuring things out. It can get dusty, especially when the wind blows in from the fields. We just keep our heads down and do the work. There’s no big management team here, just a few of us making sure the orders go out on the trucks on time. It's a long day, especially in the heat, but the work is steady. We usually close up once the sun starts going down and the air gets cooler.
