Upcountry Cement Pvt. Ltd.

Upcountry Cement Pvt. Ltd. is located out in Jangalpur, near the Govindpur police station. It’s a quiet enough area until the trucks start rolling in. We have a fairly basic setup here. Not much in the way of comfort, but it gets the job done for what we need. We spend most of our time loading and unloading. The yard is paved but it’s seen better days. There’s always a fine layer of cement dust on everything, including the tea cups. We’re a small group of guys who have worked together for a long time. We don’t really have titles or fancy roles; we just do whatever needs doing at the moment. Some days that means fixing a pallet, other days it's talking to the drivers. The weather out in Jangalpur can be tough, especially the heat in the afternoons. We try to get the heavy stuff done early. We aren't big on marketing or making ourselves sound important. We’re just a local business providing cement to the nearby construction sites. Most of the people we sell to are just regular folks building their own homes or small shops. We like it that way. It’s simple and there’s no stress about trying to impress anyone. We just open the gates in the morning and stay until the last order is out. It isn't much to look at but it's our livelihood.
