Mahalaxmee Plus Ata Chakki Private Limited

This flour mill is in Tadawale, which is a small place in the Satara district. We are set up at the home of Shri Bhagwan Dadu Shirke. If you live in the Tal Krg area, you probably know where we are. Running an ata chakki is a dusty job. The sound of the stones grinding the grain is the background noise of our lives. We have been doing this for a while now. People bring their wheat and bajra, and we grind it for them. It’s simple work but it takes a lot of patience. The machines need constant oiling and sometimes they break down right when we are busy. That’s always a headache. We don’t have a fancy storefront. It’s just a practical space where the work gets done. Satara can be very quiet, especially in the afternoons, but the mill keeps humming. We aren't trying to be some big food corporation. We are just a local mill serving the people around here. We talk about the weather and the crops while the bags fill up with flour. Our hands are usually covered in white dust by the end of the day. It’s hard on the back, but it’s a good way to earn a living. We just take it one bag at a time and try to keep the neighbors happy with their fresh flour. It is honest work and it keeps our small community fed.
