Ashiana Buildmat

We started Ashiana Buildmat here at 35 JP Nagar, just by the Samadhi Gate on Old Ropar Road, quite a while back. It’s a busy spot, especially with the trucks coming in and out at odd hours. Dealing with building materials means our clothes are usually covered in a bit of dust by noon. People come by looking for stuff to finish their homes or just some small repairs. We spend most of the day on the phone or checking the stock out back. It’s not a fancy office, just a desk and a few chairs for when neighbors stop to chat. Sometimes the traffic on Old Ropar Road makes it hard to get deliveries out fast, but we manage. My brother usually handles the loading while I talk to the site supervisors. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot from this little corner. It used to be much quieter near the Samadhi Gate years ago. Now there is always something being built nearby. We just keep our heads down and get the orders ready for the workers. It is a lot of physical work, moving bags and counting tiles for hours. Some days are slow when it rains, but usually, there is a queue of people needing something. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know where everything is kept. It’s a simple life running a shop like this, but it keeps us busy from morning till the sun goes down.
