Manikanta Cotton Industries

Out here in Keerthinagar Colony, at 45/7/19 Syno 577/a 577/b, things get very white with cotton fluff during the season. Manikanta Cotton Industries has been part of this landscape for a long time. If you drive past, you will see the piles of raw cotton waiting to be processed. It is a loud place when the ginning machines are running, but we are used to it. The air always smells a bit like dry earth and seeds. We have a lot of workers who come in from the nearby villages to help during the peak times. It’s hard work, standing on your feet and making sure the machines don't jam up. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone to write fancy letters. We just focus on the bales. The office is just a small room with a desk and some old chairs where we drink water and check the logs. We deal with farmers who bring their harvest in tractors. Some days are slow and we just clean the equipment, and other days we are working late into the night under the big bulbs. Keerthinagar is our home base and everyone knows the cotton mill is here. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just take the raw stuff and make it into something useful. It’s dusty and it’s hot, but it’s what we know how to do. The rhythm of the season keeps us all moving.
