Grasim Cement (A Unit Of Aditya Birla Group)

We are located right near the Old B.S.T.C. College on Pugal Road in Bikaner. If you know this part of Rajasthan, you know how the wind can blow the sand around, and adding cement dust to that makes for a very messy day. We don’t mind it much. It’s part of the Aditya Birla Group, but here on the ground, it’s just a bunch of us making sure the supply chain keeps moving. The warehouse isn’t anything special to look at, just a sturdy place to keep the bags out of the sun. We spend a lot of time talking to contractors and the occasional homeowner who wants to fix a leaky patch. We try to keep things organized, but when three trucks show up at once, it gets a bit chaotic. Sentence lengths vary because sometimes we’re too tired to say much and other times we’re chatting with the drivers about the road conditions from the highway. We’ve been here long enough that the college students use us as a landmark when giving directions. It’s a straightforward operation. We get the product, we store it, and we send it out to the sites where it’s needed. There’s no fluff here, just heavy bags and the smell of dry concrete. We just do our best to keep the stacks neat and the customers moving so we can get home for dinner before the desert air turns cold at night.
