Gayatri Stones

Our place is at G- 1/ 142 in the R. I. I. C. O. Industrial Area. Gayatri Stones has been operating from this plot for a good while. If you come by, you’ll see the large gantries and the stacks of raw stone waiting to be sliced. It’s a rough environment with a lot of noise from the saws hitting the hard rock. We don’t have any polished floors in the office or anything like that. It’s an industrial site through and through. We work with all kinds of stones, mostly focused on getting the slabs ready for transport. The yard at G- 1/ 142 is usually packed, so we have to stay organized with the forklift and the overhead cranes. One wrong move and you’ve got a mess on your hands. We have a few guys who have been here since the start. We drink our tea in the shade of the main shed during the mid-day heat. We don't put out ads or try to sound like a big corporation. We’re just local people doing a job that involves a lot of sweat and heavy lifting. The stone comes in as big rough chunks and leaves as flat, clean slabs. It’s satisfying to see that change happen every day. Most of the time, we’re just making sure the machines are oiled and the blades are sharp enough for the next block. It’s a solid way to make a living.
