Akash Concrete Mixture

Our operation, Akash Concrete Mixture, is set up in Village Post Jagadishpur Hat. We are located right beside the Jagadishpur SBI, so we are pretty easy to spot if you are heading to the bank. Working with concrete is heavy, messy work. There is always a layer of gray dust over everything in the yard, including the machinery and the small office shed. We spend a lot of time maintaining the mixers and making sure the engines are running right. It’s a very local business. Most of the people we work with are from the nearby villages or the surrounding post area. The sun can be pretty brutal out here in the open, and when it rains, the whole yard turns into a bit of a mud pit. We just deal with it. It’s not a fancy corporate job with air conditioning and swivel chairs. We are mostly on our feet, moving around the equipment. The sound of the mixers is the background noise of our lives. We have our routines, like stopping for a break when the bank gets its busiest. It’s a simple life focused on the physical work of mixing and moving material. We don't have a big marketing department. People just know where we are and what we do. It is just us and the machines, day in and day out, beside the bank.
