Prameela Granites & Marbles Pvt. Ltd.

Started at No. 1 Thirunagar on the 100 Feet Road. It’s always loud outside because of the traffic in Vadapalani. We spend most of our time moving heavy slabs of marble and granite around the yard. It's not easy work. Sometimes the weather makes things hard, especially when it rains and the ground gets slippery. Most people come in looking for something for their kitchens or floors. We just show them what we have in stock. The office isn't anything fancy, just a desk and some chairs where we sit down to figure out the measurements. My hands are usually dusty from touching the stones all day. We’ve been here for a while now. You get used to the noise of the trucks going by. It’s just how it is. Sometimes a customer wants a specific color we don’t have right then, so we have to wait for the next load. We handle the slabs carefully because they crack if you’re not looking. It’s a lot of physical labor, lifting and shifting pieces from one side to the other. We see a lot of different people every day. Some know exactly what they want and others just walk around looking at the patterns. We try to keep things organized but with stone, it’s always a bit of a mess. That's just part of the job here in Vadapalani. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
