Shri Balaji Ceramic Products

Shri Balaji Ceramic Products is located at C-103 in the Karamchari Colony, which is part of Ashok Vihar in Alwar. Rajasthan is known for its heat, and working with ceramics doesn't make it any cooler. We spend our days around clay and kilns, and there is always a layer of fine dust on everything in the shop. The colony is a nice place to be, and we have been at this address for quite a long time. We aren't a big factory with thousands of workers. It is a smaller operation where we pay attention to the details of the tiles and pottery we handle. Sometimes the colors don't come out exactly how we thought, but that is just how it goes with ceramic work. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall. We just want to make products that people can actually use in their homes. Most of our staff lives nearby in Ashok Vihar, so we are all neighbors as well as coworkers. We share our lunch in the small back room and talk about the local news or the weather. It is a quiet life, mostly focused on the rhythm of the work. We don't do much advertising; people usually find us through word of mouth or by just walking past the colony. We just keep the kiln running and try to do a decent job every single day for the people here.
