Theon Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Theon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is tucked away in Village Saini Majra, which is part of the Tehsil Nalagarh area in Solan. Being up here in Himachal Pradesh means the air is a bit different than the plains, but the work inside the factory is just as serious. We wear the white coats and the hairnets every day to keep things clean. It's a big facility for a village, and we have a lot of different sections for making various medicines. It's not like a regular shop where people just walk in. There are a lot of rules about who can go where. Most of the staff comes from the nearby villages and we all know each other. We spend a lot of time checking the machines and making sure the batches are moving along the line correctly. It’s a quiet kind of busy. You hear the clicking of the packaging machines more than you hear people talking. The roads up here in Solan can be winding and slow, so getting supplies in takes some planning. We don't have a fancy lobby with art on the walls. It is a practical building meant for manufacturing. We focus on the tasks at hand, whether that is mixing ingredients or labeling boxes. It's a steady job in a beautiful part of the country. We don't talk much about industry standards in a formal way—we just focus on what is happening at the Saini Majra site every day.
