Shivam Oils & Proteins Industry

Out here in Baraipali, things stay pretty steady at Shivam Oils & Proteins Industry. We deal with the seeds and the processing side of things, which means there is always a specific smell of oil in the air around the facility. It is an industrial kind of job, mostly watching the machines and making sure the bags get filled up correctly. We have a crew that has been here for years, so everyone knows what they are supposed to be doing without much talk. The area around Baraipali is good for this kind of work. We get our raw materials from the local farmers and suppliers who bring their loads in by the truckload. Some days are busier than others, especially during the harvest seasons when the gates never seem to close. It is not a glamorous business, and the floors are often a bit slippery if you aren't careful where you step. We spend a lot of time on maintenance because these machines take a beating running all day. We just try to keep the output consistent so our regular buyers don't have to worry about their orders. Most of the staff lives nearby, so we see each other at the market or around town even when we aren't at work. It is a basic operation, focused on getting the oil and proteins ready for whoever needs them next in the chain. There is always a lot of clanking metal and the sound of heavy engines running in the background.
