Ashok Bricks Industries (P) Ltd.

We are located right near the private school here in Jhasur. If you are from around here, you probably know the spot. We make bricks. It is a messy job, especially when the weather isn't cooperating. Some days are hot and dusty, and other days we are dealing with mud, but that is the brick business for you. We have been operating Ashok Bricks Industries for quite some time now. We aren't a huge corporation with a lot of layers. Usually, it's just us and the crew working the kilns. We try to keep things moving so people can finish their houses or walls. Bricks are basic, but you need them to be right. We don't spend money on glossy brochures. We would rather spend that time checking the stack. Sometimes the colors vary a bit because of the clay or the fire, but that's natural. People come by the yard to check out what we have. It gets busy during the building season. We just keep our heads down and work. If the school is letting out, traffic gets a bit slow around here with all the kids and the parents, so we have to plan our truck loads around those times. It is a local operation, nothing more. We just provide the bricks for whoever needs them in the district. The yard is big and can be hard to navigate when it rains, but we manage. We’ve got a dog that hangs around the gate.
