Mrs. Vandanaben R. Panchal

The business belonging to Mrs. Vandanaben R. Panchal is located at Plot No. 484-b6-7, Gidc Ind. Estate. It’s a modest workshop where we handle everything ourselves. We don’t have any fancy titles or a big management structure. It’s just us working the machines and making sure the orders are ready. The space is a bit tight because we’ve got a lot of equipment packed into the plot, but we know where everything is. You have to watch your step sometimes around the spare parts. We start early to beat the heat of the afternoon. By the time the sun is high, we’re usually well into our tasks. We don’t do much in terms of promotion. People find us because they need what we make and they know we’ve been here for years. It’s an honest way to make a living. We have a small table where we sit for lunch and talk about things other than work. It’s important to have that break. The building is older, and the roof leaks a tiny bit when it rains really hard, but we’ve got buckets for that. We just focus on the job at hand and keep things moving. It’s not a perfect place, but it’s ours and we know how to run it well. We just hope for clear skies and steady work through the season.
