Jayanthee Steels

Our place is on 60 Feet Road, right near the Old Gajuwaka Junction in Vishakapatnam. If you know Vizag, you know how busy that junction can get. We deal with steel, so the yard is always full of iron rods, sheets, and the sound of metal clanging together. It’s a noisy business, but you get used to it after a week or two. We don't have a fancy office; it’s mostly just a small cabin with a desk and a few ledgers. The air around here has that salty smell because we aren't too far from the coast. Everything gets a little bit of rust if we don't move it fast enough, so we stay busy. The workers are mostly local guys from the neighborhood who have been with us for years. We don’t use any big marketing tactics. People just know we are here on the 60 Feet Road and they come by when they are building something. Sometimes we sit outside on plastic chairs during the lunch break and watch the trucks go by. It’s honest work and it keeps us tired but happy at the end of the day. The sun can be brutal in the afternoons, so we have a big tarp stretched across part of the yard. It’s not much to look at, but it gets the job done and keeps us out of the heat.
