House Of Spices (India) Pvt Ltd

Being out here in the GIDC industrial area means it’s always a bit loud and dusty, but that’s just how it is in the 1st Phase. We are at Plot 57/1-6, which is a decent-sized space where we handle all the spice work for House Of Spices (India) Pvt Ltd. When you walk into the area, you can usually smell whatever we are processing that day, whether it’s turmeric or chili or something else. It sticks to your clothes, but you get used to it after a week. The building is a standard industrial shed setup with high ceilings and plenty of room for the sacks to be piled up. We have a few small rooms for the office stuff, but most of the action happens out on the floor. The floors are often covered in a fine layer of spice dust despite how much we sweep. It’s a hot place in the afternoons, especially when the Gujarat sun is hitting the roof, so we have these big industrial fans that keep the air moving a little. We don’t do anything too complicated here, just the sorting, packing, and making sure the trucks are loaded on time. Most of the guys here have been working these plots for years. It’s not the kind of place you’d come for a tour, but it’s where the work gets done. There’s always a tractor or a lorry idling nearby.
