Abhishek Granites Ltd.

The factory is out at E 47/48 in the Ambaji Industrial Area. It’s a loud place because of the machines cutting through the granite blocks all day long. You have to shout sometimes just to be heard over the saws. We’ve been operating out of this spot for quite a few years now. The ground is always wet because of the water used to cool the blades. It’s not the kind of place you’d want to wear nice shoes to. We have stacks of granite in different colors all over the yard. Some are polished and some are still rough. It’s a lot of logistical work getting the big blocks from the quarry and then moving the finished slabs out to customers. We don't have a marketing department or anything like that. We just have a small office that smells a bit like old files and grease. The tea guy comes around twice a day and that’s usually when we take a break. It’s hard, physical work and the machines need a lot of maintenance to keep running. Sometimes a blade breaks and everything stops for a few hours while we fix it. That’s just part of the job in Ambaji. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a fancy website or big promises. We just cut the stone and sell it to whoever needs it for their project.
