Hirange Soft Drinks

Our place is called Dwaraka, located in Kudavechoor, right around the Vaikom area. It’s a pretty quiet spot compared to the bigger cities. We are out here near the water, and you can feel the breeze sometimes when it’s not too hot. Hirange Soft Drinks is just a local business where a few of us get together to handle the bottling. We don't have a massive factory with thousands of workers. It’s more of a small-scale setup where everyone knows each other’s names. The P.O. Vaikom address is easy enough for the postman to find. We spend a lot of time checking the levels in the tanks and making sure the crates are stacked properly. Sometimes the delivery truck gets stuck on the narrow roads around Kudavechoor, which is always a bit of a headache. We don't spend much time on fancy marketing stuff. We just make the drinks and send them out to the local shops. It gets quite busy during the festival season when everyone is looking for something cold. During the rainy season, things slow down a bit and we catch up on maintenance. It’s a steady rhythm here at Dwaraka. We like being in this part of Kerala. It’s home for most of us and the work keeps us busy enough throughout the year. We share the space with heavy crates and the occasional stray cat that wanders in for shade. It’s not perfect, but it works for us.
