Milan Oil Industries

Our place is right on NH-27 at Plot No. 111 in Jamwadi. You can usually hear the machines from Milan Oil Industries before you even see the building. It’s a loud place to work, but you get used to the rhythm of the crushers after a while. We spend our days dealing with piles of seeds and heavy bags that need moving. The air inside always smells like oil, which isn’t so bad once you get used to it. We don't have any fancy signs or a big lobby. It’s just a working mill where we try to keep the equipment from breaking down. Sometimes a belt snaps or a motor gets too hot, and we have to stop everything to fix it right then and there. That’s just how it is with this kind of work. The trucks pull in from the highway all day long, and there’s always a bit of a scramble to get them loaded or unloaded. We have a couple of dogs that hang around the gate and keep us company when things are quiet. Most of the staff live nearby, so we all know each other’s families and what’s going on in the village. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to produce good oil and keep the business running for another year. It’s a lot of hard work and sweat, but we like it well enough and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
