Yojana Masale

You can find Yojana Masale over in Rajaram Nagar, which is in the Islampur area of Walwa Taluka. We are a local spice business and we’ve been operating from this At/Post address for quite a bit of time. The smell of turmeric and chili is pretty much stuck in the walls here, but we don't mind it. It’s a family-style setup where everyone knows their job and we just get on with it. We spend a lot of time grinding and mixing, so the machines are usually humming in the background. It's not a high-tech factory, just a solid place where we make sure the spices are right. We get a lot of people from the nearby villages who know us by name. The floors get a bit stained from the spices, but that's just part of the job. We have a small area where we pack everything into bags and label them by hand sometimes. It’s a lot of work, especially when the harvest comes in and we have a lot of raw material to process. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. Word usually gets around just by people talking. It’s a simple life in Islampur, and we like being part of the community here. There is always a lot of cleaning to do at the end of the day, but we don't mind the hard work.
