Dwarkesh Brick Industries

We are tucked away at House No-5 in the Harishkunj Society area. It is right behind the Vejalpur bus stop, so we hear the buses coming and going all day long. This place has been our base for a while now. The yard is usually full of red dust and stacks of bricks waiting to be moved. It isn't a fancy setup by any means. We have a small office that gets quite hot in the summer months. Making bricks is a messy business and we don't try to hide that. You can see the workers moving around, covered in the same red earth they are shaping. We use local soil and just follow the old methods. Sometimes the trucks have a hard time navigating the narrow turns near the society, especially when it’s busy. We just do what we can. The neighbors are used to us being here. We don’t have a big marketing team or a sleek website. Most people just walk in or call us because they saw the yard while waiting for their bus. The humidity in Vejalpur can be tough on everyone, but the work doesn't stop. We spend our mornings checking the kilns and the afternoons organizing the deliveries. It’s a lot of physical labor and keeping track of numbers in a big paper book. We just focus on the task at hand. It's a simple life out here behind the stop.
