Kubera Dal & Besan Mills

You can find us over at 21 to 24 on Jawaharlal Nehru Road. We are part of the Burhanj Baug-B Colony area in Gultekdi. It’s a busy spot, especially with the mills running. Most of the time, there is a fine layer of yellow dust over everything because of the besan we grind. It gets into your clothes and hair, but after a few years, you don't even notice it anymore. The machinery is quite loud, so we usually communicate with hand signals when we are standing near the grinders. We have a lot of bags of raw pulses stacked up in the corners waiting their turn. It's a lot of physical work, lifting the sacks and making sure the flour comes out at the right consistency. The heat from the motors makes the room warm, so we keep the big fans going all day long. Sometimes we have issues with the supply coming in late, and that throws off the whole day’s plan. We just deal with it as it comes. The neighborhood is mostly other businesses like ours, so it's a very practical kind of place. We don't have a big fancy office, just a small desk where we keep the books and take calls. Most days are long, but there is a certain satisfaction when the last bag is sewn shut and stacked. We just keep the mills going as long as there is stock.
