Orange Agrofresh India Private Limited

Down in Karad, over at Shaniwar Peth, you’ll find our little office for Orange Agrofresh India Private Limited. We are right near Chingale Medical, which is a pretty good landmark if you are trying to find us at 457/6. The street is usually full of people and scooters zipping around Satara. We deal with oranges and other fresh produce coming in from the fields nearby. It gets pretty hectic during the picking season, with crates stacked up and people shouting over the noise of the trucks. Our team isn't very big, just some locals who grew up around here and know the land. We spend a lot of time on the phone or out checking on the fruit. The office is a bit old, with some peeling paint and windows that stick sometimes, but it does the job. We don’t go in for anything polished or corporate. It’s more about the smell of fresh fruit and the dust from the road. Most days involve drinking a lot of tea and figuring out where the next load is going. It's honest work, even if it gets messy sometimes. If you're walking past the medical shop, you can probably hear us talking about the latest market rates or the rain. Satara weather is unpredictable, so we are always checking the clouds. We just keep our heads down and try to get the produce out while it’s still good. Every season has its own set of challenges here.
