A. S. V. Stones Private Limited

We are over at Door No. 8 on Plot No. 37 in Dhanalakshmi Colony. It’s tucked away on 1St Street in Vadapalani. A. S. V. Stones Private Limited sounds like a big corporate name, but it’s really just a few of us here. We deal with various stones and it can get pretty heavy. The street is usually quiet, except when we have a delivery coming in. Then things get a bit chaotic with the unloading. We’ve been in this part of Vadapalani for quite a while now. Most people in the colony know us as the stone people. We don't have a fancy front desk. It’s more of a place where we keep the stock and do the billing on an old wooden table. Sometimes the neighbors complain about the dust, so we try to keep things sprayed down with water. It’s a lot of physical work, moving pieces around so people can see the patterns. We don't really do much advertising. Word of mouth seems to work okay for us. On hot days, we keep the fans running full blast, but it stays warm inside. We just focus on what needs to be done today and leave tomorrow for tomorrow. It’s not a complicated setup, just a local business trying to keep the orders moving. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, with new houses replacing the old ones. We plan to stay right here on 1St Street for as long as we can.
