Shivam Brick Industry

If you go past the police station in Khajuwala, you’ll find us over at 8Kyd. It’s a bit out of the way for some, but for those of us living in the Tehsil, it’s just where we work. Shivam Brick Industry isn't a massive factory, it's more of a local yard where we spend our days mixing and molding. The sun here can be real tough, but it’s actually good for drying the bricks out before they go into the kiln. We have a few guys who have been with us for years now. They know exactly how the mix should feel. We don't use any high-tech machines, just the usual stuff that gets the job done. Sometimes the dust from the road gets everywhere, but that’s just life in this part of the country. We keep a decent stock of bricks ready for whoever pulls up in their tractor or truck. It’s a lot of manual labor, loading and unloading by hand mostly. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing team. If someone needs bricks for a wall or a small house, they just come by the gate. We’re usually there from early morning until the sun goes down. It’s honest work and it keeps the village moving. We just focus on making sure the bricks don't crack when they're cooling down. That’s the main thing we worry about day to day. We take pride in seeing the houses nearby that were built using our bricks. It makes all the sweat and heat feel worth it in the end.
