Raj Match Company

If you’re looking for Raj Match Company, we are at number 5/45 in Jeeva Nagar. It’s part of the Jagannath Puram area. Making matches is what we’ve always done, and it’s a lot more involved than people think. We have to deal with the wood splints, the chemicals for the heads, and all the packaging. It’s a lot of small parts coming together. Our workshop isn’t huge, but we use every inch of it. There are several rows of machines and tables where we sort through the boxes. You can hear the rhythmic clicking of the equipment from the street when we’re in full swing. We employ a handful of local people from around the neighborhood. It’s a tight-knit group, and we all know our roles. Sometimes the humidity messes with the drying process, so we have to keep an eye on the weather. It’s frustrating when things don’t dry right, but that’s just part of the job. We don’t have a fancy showroom. If you come by, you’ll just see us working at the benches or loading boxes onto the small truck we use for deliveries. We keep a pot of tea going most of the day in the corner of the room. It’s a simple business, really. We just make sure the matches are reliable and the boxes are packed full. It’s been our livelihood for a long time, and we plan to stay right here in Jeeva Nagar for many more years to come.
