Hindustan Coca Cola Pvt. Ltd.

Out here in Mazian, Raja Talab, things are a bit quieter than what you find in the big cities. We run the daily operations at this facility and it’s a big part of the local landscape for the people living nearby. The address is simple enough, just Mazian, but everyone in the area knows the front gates. We have a lot of local guys working the lines every day. The dust from the main road seems to get everywhere, so we are always cleaning the equipment as well as we can. It is a lot of heavy lifting and keeping a close track of the crates going out on the trucks. We have the big vehicles coming through the yard daily, and when the monsoon season hits, the whole place gets a bit muddy and slow. We don't have any flashy signs or a big lobby for visitors. It's just the production area and a small cramped office for doing the paperwork. My shirt usually has a bit of grease or sticky syrup on it by noon. We take our breaks in the shade of the trees when it’s hot outside. The machines make a constant humming sound that you can hear even from the main road outside. We have had some of the same equipment for many years, and it needs a bit of looking after from time to time. It is a steady kind of life here. We show up, do our shift, and then head back home again.
