Sri Venkateswara Chemicals

Working out of Plot No. 33-b in the Sidco Industrial Estate near Mettur Dam is where you’ll find us at Sri Venkateswara Chemicals. The industrial estate is a busy place with all sorts of workshops and factories. Our building is a simple structure that’s built for one thing, and that’s handling chemical products. It’s not the kind of place you’d come for a tour. We spend our time checking drums, mixing batches, and making sure everything is stored where it should be. The smell of the chemicals is something you just get used to after a couple of days. We wear our heavy gloves and boots all day long, which can be a bit much when it’s humid outside. Mettur Dam is a landmark everyone knows, so it’s easy to give directions. We have a small break room where we eat our lunch, usually talking about whatever is on the radio. The work is physical and you have to be careful with every move you make. We’ve had the same group of guys for a while now, and we all just focus on getting the orders filled. It’s a practical business without any extra frills. The walls are stained and the floors have marks from moving heavy equipment around, but it’s a working facility, so that’s to be expected. We stay focused on the tasks and go home tired.
