Sona Daity Firm

Sona Daity Firm is located in the Yerwada area, inside the Tarkeshwar Compound by Ambedkar Society. We deal with milk and some dairy products. It’s a very early start for us every morning. The milk cans arrive before the sun is even up. We spend a lot of time cleaning the containers and making sure everything is ready for the morning rush. Most people from the Ambedkar Society come over with their own steel jugs to get their daily supply. It’s a noisy time of day with everyone talking and the clinking of the metal. We also have some curds and paneer when there is extra milk to work with. The shop itself is plain. We have some refrigerators that hum all day long to keep things cool. It gets hot in Yerwada during the summer, so we have to be careful. I’ve worked here for several years now. It’s a steady job. You get to know everyone's name and how much milk their family needs. Sometimes the delivery trucks are late because of traffic, but usually, things run on time. We don’t do much advertising; people just know where we are in the Tarkeshwar Compound. It’s a small operation, just a few of us handling the distribution and the cleaning. We try to keep the floors dry but with milk and water, it’s a bit of a struggle. It's just a regular dairy serving the people living around the society area.
