Sairam Mushroom, Paneer & Sea Food

Our business, Sairam Mushroom, Paneer & Sea Food, is located in Rayagada. We are situated near Kaplias Road, which is a fairly easy place to find if you are in the neighborhood. We handle a strange mix of things, I suppose, with the mushrooms and the seafood. But that is what we know and what we do. We have some cold storage units to keep the paneer and the fish fresh. It’s a lot of work to make sure the temperature stays right all the time. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and we have to scramble to get the generator started. It’s a bit stressful, but we manage. We aren't a big factory or anything like that. It’s just a small warehouse and a front office. A few of us work here together. We spend most of our time checking the stock and talking to the people who deliver the goods. The smell of the seafood can be quite strong some days, but you get used to it after a while. We don't have a website or any of those modern things. People just know we are here and they come by when they need something for their kitchen. Things are simple and honest here. We just do our work, pack the orders, and send them out. It is a messy job but someone has to do it. We’ve been at it for years and we know the business inside out.
