Varalakshmi Starch Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Our main office is in the Varalakshmi Towers, which is located on the second floor. The building is right on Gandhi Road, at number 127/1, in the Hasthampatty area of Salem. We have been working out of this spot in Tamil Nadu for a long time. We deal with starch production, which is a big part of the local industry here. From our windows, we can see the traffic moving along Gandhi Road all day. The office is usually filled with the sound of phones ringing and people talking about bulk orders and shipping schedules. We aren't a new company; we’ve been around long enough to know all the local suppliers and the farmers who provide the raw materials. The office is a bit old-fashioned, with wooden desks and lots of files everywhere. We don't use much fancy software, just the basics to keep the business running. It gets quite warm in Salem, so we have the fans going constantly. Our staff has been with us for years, so we’re more like a small family than a big corporation. We just focus on getting the starch processed and sent out to the customers who need it for textiles or food. It’s a steady kind of life here in Hasthampatty. We don't try to be something we’re not. We just run our starch business from our floor in the tower and keep things moving.
