Abhay Glassbeads Pvt. Ltd.

We are located at 180 Nauranga Bad West. If you’ve never seen how glass beads are made, it’s a lot of heat and a lot of small things rolling around. Abhay Glassbeads Pvt. Ltd. has been running here for a while. The floor is always covered in tiny bits of glass, no matter how much we sweep. It’s a constant battle with the broom. We have these ovens going, and the smell of the melting glass is something you never really get out of your clothes. It’s not a big corporate factory. It’s more of a family-run feel where everyone knows their job. We spend hours sorting beads by size and color. Some of them are so small you can barely see them, and others are bigger for different uses. It’s tedious work, sitting there with the trays, but it’s what we do. We don't have a mission statement on the wall. We just try to make sure the beads are round and the colors look right. The bags pile up in the corner waiting for the transport to arrive. Sometimes the power goes out and we just have to sit and wait, which is part of the charm of Nauranga Bad West. It’s a simple life, focused on these little pieces of glass. We keep our records in a dusty ledger and try to keep things moving as best as we can every single day.
