Shree Amogh Power Bricks

We have been running things here in Arakeri village for quite a few years now. Most of the folks around here know where to find us because we are situated right near the Bijapur Jummamasjid. It is a pretty quiet spot for the most part, though it gets a bit noisy when the equipment is running. Making these bricks at Shree Amogh Power Bricks takes up almost all of our time. The sun out here in Bijapur can be really brutal during the summer months, which makes the outdoor work pretty tough. We didn't set out to build some huge empire or anything like that. We just wanted a steady way to make a living right here in the village. My brothers help me out and we have a few local men who come in early every day to get the kilns started. You can see the smoke and the big red stacks from the main road if you are coming from town. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. It is just a big open yard with lots of clay and the machines we use. Sometimes the delivery trucks have a hard time getting in if the dirt road is muddy from the rain. We spend our days checking on the batches and making sure the drying process is going okay. Local people usually just walk over when they are planning to build a small wall or maybe a new room for their house. We don't really do any advertising or have a website. If someone needs bricks, they just show up.
