Kandhari Beverages Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is right near the railway station in Baddi, out on Sisar Road. If you know the area, you know it’s always moving with the trains and the trucks coming through. We handle beverages here at Kandhari. It’s a big operation but we try to keep things down to earth. The post office is nearby too, so there’s always people walking past our gates. It gets quite dusty on the road during the dry season, so we’re always cleaning the windows and the loading docks. We spend a lot of time checking the inventory and making sure the crates are stacked right. It’s not a glamorous job, mostly just moving bottles and making sure the machines are running like they should. Sometimes the power goes out in Nalagarh and everything stops for a bit, which gives us a chance to sit down and have a tea. We’ve got a good group of guys working here who know the routine. We don’t really use fancy words to describe what we do. We just make drinks and send them out. Living and working in a village like Baddi means you know your neighbors and you see the same faces every morning at the tea stall. We’ve been at this spot for a long time now. The proximity to the station helps with the logistics, though the noise can be a bit much when you’re trying to talk. It’s just a regular workplace doing regular work for the community.
