Puratos Food Ingredients India Pvt. Ltd.

We operate out of the TTC Industrial Area in MIDC Shirwane. The address is D-222/48 & 49. It’s a massive industrial belt in Navi Mumbai. Puratos Food Ingredients India Pvt. Ltd. has been here for a good amount of time. The area is filled with chemical plants and food units, so there’s always a hum of machinery in the background. Our building is a plain grey structure. Inside, it’s all about the ingredients we handle. It smells like yeast and chocolate most days, which isn't a bad thing. We have a warehouse side and a small office side. The office is pretty basic with old desks and a lot of filing cabinets. We spend most of our time in the lab or on the loading dock. The trucks coming in and out of Shirwane can be a nightmare in the evenings. We usually try to finish up before the shift change at the bigger factories nearby. It’s a working-class area. There aren't many places to eat around here, so we all bring lunch from home and eat together in the small breakroom. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady. We focus on the day-to-day tasks and making sure the supplies are ready for the morning. That’s just how we do things here.
