Eveready Industries India Limited

This location is out in the village area of Abjakhli, over in the Bishnupur part of the district. It’s quite a way from the main city, so things move a bit slower here compared to the big hubs. We spend a lot of time dealing with the logistics of being in Dakshin Bagi. The factory site has been here for a good bit, and many of the people working the floor are from the nearby villages. You’ll see them arriving on bicycles or walking along the dirt paths in the morning. Inside, it’s mostly about the production lines and making sure the torch batteries or whatever is on the schedule gets packed right. The monsoon season is the hardest because the roads around 24 Pgs(S) get real muddy and the trucks have a hard time getting in. We just keep the gates open and keep the machines humming along. It’s a plain brick building, nothing to look at from the outside, but it stays busy. There’s a small tea stall just outside the main gate where everyone gathers during the breaks. We talk about the local news and the weather mostly. It’s a practical setup, meant for work and not for showing off to visitors. If you are coming down from the post office at Dakshin Bagi, you just follow the road down past the fields. The pin is 743503 if you’re trying to find us on a map.
