SANIKA INDUSTRIES

Our workshop for SANIKA INDUSTRIES is at Gate No. 76 in Jyotiba Nagar, over in the Talawade area. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here, but it’s where all the industrial action happens. We’ve got a couple of machines that run pretty much all day, making small components that go into bigger machines elsewhere. The floor is concrete and usually has a bit of oil on it, so you have to watch your step. We don't really do much in the way of decorating the place. The walls are just plain, and we have calendars from three years ago still hanging up because nobody bothered to take them down. Most of the time, we’re just focused on the job at hand, checking the calipers and making sure the cuts are right. We have a small tea stall just down the road where we go for breaks, and that’s usually where we hear all the local news. It’s a quiet life in some ways, even with the noise of the lathes. We don't have a big HR department or any of that. If there’s a problem, we just talk it out over a cup of tea. We’ve been here long enough that the truck drivers don’t even need to look at the map anymore to find our gate. It’s just a practical, hardworking spot where we do our best to stay busy and get orders out.
