Kerala Strate Bamboo Corporation Ltd.

We are down in Angamaly South at P.B.No. 20. It is a very different vibe from the big cities. We are surrounded by a lot of trees and it is usually quite green around our building. We work with bamboo. It is a traditional material and we have been handling it for decades. The building is quite old and has that specific smell of aged wood and rain. We have a lot of local people working with us. Some of them have been weaving mats or processing bamboo since they were young. It is a slow and steady kind of work. We are not trying to be a big global giant. We just provide bamboo products to the people who need them for their homes or businesses. The monsoon season is always a challenge because the humidity affects the drying process. We have big sheds where we keep everything stored. The office is simple, with wooden desks and a lot of paper files. We do not use computers for everything yet. It feels more personal this way. People walk in and we know them by name. The town of Angamaly is quiet, and our location is just off the main road. We do not spend money on big ads. We just rely on the fact that we have been here forever and people know what we do. It is a quiet life, but it is good for us.
