Devdeep Dyechem Industries Private Limited

You’ll find us out in the Ankleshwar GIDC industrial estate at Plot Number A-1/6104/4. It is an industrial area through and through, so there is always a lot of noise and trucks rumbling past the gate. We are Devdeep Dyechem Industries and we spend our days working with different kinds of dyes and chemical batches. The building is just a big functional space with concrete floors and high ceilings. It’s not the kind of place you’d come for a tour, as it gets pretty messy with the colors we use. One day the floor might have a blue tint and the next it’s all yellow from the powders. We wear heavy boots and aprons most of the time. The work is mostly about following the steps for each batch and making sure the drums are sealed right for transport. We have a small office upstairs where we handle the bills and talk to the suppliers on the phone. It’s a bit of a climb up the metal stairs. We eat our lunch together in a small room in the back. It’s hot work, especially during the summer months when the machinery is running full tilt. We’ve been here for years and most of the staff lives nearby. We aren't trying to be the biggest company, we just want to get the orders filled and sent out to the factories that need our dyes. It is a plain, hard-working life here in the estate.
