Jai Jalaram Industries

Our business, Jai Jalaram Industries, is situated in the Pavana Industrial Premises Co-Operative Society. We are in the T-204 section, specifically at Gala Number B-43. It’s one of those large industrial complexes in Bhosari where hundreds of small units are all squeezed in together. Being in a co-op society means we share the space with a lot of other businesses, so the parking is always a bit of a mess and there’s always someone unloading a truck in the middle of the way. Our gala is a simple rectangular space where we’ve set up our production line. It’s not a large operation, just a few machines and a small mezzanine where we keep some of the raw materials and old records. The light inside is a bit dim sometimes, so we had to put up those extra tube lights over the work areas. We spend most of our day dealing with the logistics of getting materials in and finished goods out. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour or two, and we all just sit outside and chat until it comes back on. It’s a basic life here, nothing like those modern tech parks you see in other parts of Pune. We just do our work, pay our dues to the society, and try to keep the machines in good shape. It’s steady work and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday without much change.
