Mitesh Food Products Pvt. Ltd.

It’s usually pretty loud here at Plot 111 in the GIDC Industrial Estate. Most days we are busy packing up things and moving crates around. Mitesh Food Products started out small and we’ve just stayed here, doing what we do every day. Sometimes the machines get a bit stubborn but we get them running again. It’s not fancy or anything. There’s a lot of flour and sugar around, and the floor stays dusty no matter how much we sweep it. We have a small crew and most of us have been here for years now. We know each other's families and what everyone likes for lunch. The GIDC area is always crowded with trucks, so getting in and out takes time. We don't really have a big office with air conditioning, just a desk near the main door where the paperwork gets done. People come by to pick up orders and we just point them to the loading bay. It’s practical work. We don't spend much time on the computer unless we have to. Most of the day is spent on our feet, making sure the bags are filled and the seals are tight. It gets hot in the summer, especially near the ovens, but we’re used to it. We just keep our heads down and get the orders out by evening. That’s how it goes here. We close up the gates around seven and then head home to rest for the next morning shift.
