Gourav Cement Store

Gourav Cement Store is located out in Malerkotla as part of the Kutwal Group. If you come by the yard you will see big stacks of cement bags everywhere. It is a very dusty environment because the fine powder gets into everything. We have a crew of guys who spend the whole day loading and unloading trucks that come in from the main road. The office is just a small cabin on the side of the yard where we keep the ledger books and the phone. It gets quite hot in Malerkotla during the summer months so we have a big cooler running all the time. The floor is always gray with cement dust no matter how many times we sweep it. We don't have any fancy displays or anything like that. People come here because they know we have the stock ready to go. The trucks make a lot of noise when they pull in and out of the gate. It is a tough business and physically demanding for the workers. We have been part of the Kutwal Group for a while now and it is a busy operation. Usually there is a queue of vehicles waiting their turn. We don't spend much time on the computer, mostly we are out there checking the bags and talking to the drivers. It is a straightforward way to make a living and we have been doing it for years now. The sun sets behind the stack of bags every evening and we lock the gate.
