Harjee Packaging

Harjee Packaging is located in the D.S.I.D.C Complex in Kirti Nagar. If you’ve ever been to this part of Delhi, you know how tight the streets can be and how much is always going on. Our unit is D-37. We do a lot of packaging stuff here, mostly boxes and wraps that people need for their businesses. It’s a noisy place because the cutting machines and the folders are running most of the day. There’s usually a stack of brown cardboard leaning against the wall near the entrance. We aren’t a massive corporation with fancy suits; it’s just a group of us in our work clothes trying to get the day’s tasks finished. Sometimes the delivery guys have a hard time finding the exact spot in the complex, so we spend a bit of time on the phone giving directions. The lights inside aren't the brightest, but we know where everything is kept. We don't spend money on big signs or anything like that because most people find us through word of mouth or because they’ve been coming here for years. It’s a lot of physical labor, lifting rolls and moving heavy stacks around. When the tea man comes by in the afternoon, we usually take a quick break, but otherwise, it’s pretty much constant movement. It gets the job done and keeps us busy. We like the rhythm of the work even when it’s tiring.
