Ketan Construction Ltd.

We are Ketan Construction Ltd. and our place is in Damarwada, Dholka. It is a bit outside the main city of Ahmedabad. The pace here is different. We don't have the big towers you see in the city center. Most of our work is around Dholka and the surrounding villages. Our office is more like a workshop. We have piles of wood and some machinery parked around the yard. It gets dusty, especially when the wind blows across the open fields. We started this business because there was a need for local builders who actually show up. We aren't fancy people. We wear work clothes and we aren't afraid to get our hands dirty on the site. A typical day starts very early before the sun gets too hot. We check the equipment and talk to the drivers. Sometimes we have to wait a while for deliveries to reach Damarwada since we are a bit further out. But we have good relationships with the local guys. Our office inside is just a couple of tables and a ceiling fan that squeaks a bit. We keep our records in big binders. We don't do much in the way of fancy meetings. Usually, we just stand around a truck and figure out the plan for the day. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy enough throughout the year.
