Lakshmi Industries

You’ll find Lakshmi Industries over in Vasai East. We are in Unit No. 4 at Amrut Industrial Estate 2, which is inside K T Industrial Park 2. It’s a mouthful to say, and even harder to find if you don’t know the area. We are near Golani Naka and Varun Industries, so we tell people to look for those landmarks. The estate is always busy with trucks and people moving crates. Our unit is a practical space filled with machines and raw materials. It’s loud when everything is running, so we usually have to shout to be heard over the noise. We’ve been in this part of Waliv for a good while. It’s an industrial life—early starts and late finishes. We deal with a lot of different orders, and the floor is always covered in some kind of scrap or dust. We don’t have a fancy showroom. If you want to see what we do, you just come onto the floor and look. The heat in Vasai can be tough in the summer, especially inside a tin-roofed building, but we’ve got our fans and we get through it. It’s a tough business, and there are always challenges with parts or shipping, but we keep the machines going. It’s just how we do things here in the park. We don't do much talking, we just focus on the production.
