Ishan Industries

Ishan Industries has a bit of a long address because we are located deep in the BEI Compound. To find us, you have to go behind the L T Health Dialysis Centre and the Amar Ice Factory. It’s near the Jakat Naka on Chhani Road. It sounds complicated when you tell people over the phone, but once you get here, it actually makes sense. You can hear the hum of the ice factory nearby all day long, which becomes like background noise after a while. The compound is full of different small businesses, so there is always someone moving something on a trolley or a truck trying to reverse in. We work in a space that’s been built for utility, not for looks. The walls are a bit stained from years of work, and the floors are hard concrete. We handle our daily production tasks and try to keep things organized despite the somewhat cramped space. Being near a health center means we have to be mindful of certain things, or at least we try to keep the chaos contained. Chhani Road is always busy with people coming in and out of the city. We have a small crew and we all do a bit of everything, from packing to cleaning up at the end of the day. There isn’t a boss who sits in a closed office; we’re all out on the floor together. It’s a bit messy and loud, but that’s just how it goes here.
