Balaji Battery Industries

Our setup at 31/A in the Ida Kattedan industrial area is pretty straightforward. If you know Rajendranagar, you know it gets quite dusty around here with all the heavy trucks moving in and out of the gates. We spend a lot of time just keeping the workspace clear. The building is a basic industrial unit, nothing like the glass offices you see in the city center. We've got our machines and the storage area, and it stays pretty loud throughout the day. Lunch usually happens at the small stall down the road because nobody wants to cook in this heat. The roof is corrugated metal, so when it rains, you can't hear yourself think, but we've gotten used to it over the years. We started Balaji Battery Industries without a big plan, just a need to work. Now, the routine is the same every day. We get in, check the stock, and start the floor. Sometimes the water supply is a bit iffy, so we keep a few tanks filled up just in case. It’s a gritty place to work, but the people in Kattedan are hard-working and we all help each other out when a truck gets stuck or a machine breaks down. It isn't a glamorous life, but it’s ours and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday without fail. We even have a small stray dog that hangs around the entrance for scraps and keeps us company.
