Bharat Potteries Ltd

Road No. 6 in the V.K.I. Area is a long stretch, and we are tucked away at S(707)A. It’s a big space because you need a lot of room for the kilns and the drying racks. Bharat Potteries has seen a lot of changes over the years. When we started, there weren't nearly as many factories around here. Now, the whole place is packed with trucks and workers. Inside, it's always warm because of the ovens. We spend our days checking the clay and making sure the shapes are right before they go in to bake. It's a lot of waiting around for things to cool down so we can see how they turned out. Sometimes a whole batch breaks and it's a real headache, but that’s just the nature of working with ceramics. The workers here are mostly locals who have learned the trade by doing it every day. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Jaipur, we just want to keep the machines running and the orders moving. The office is small and usually covered in a thin layer of white dust, no matter how much we clean it. It's a messy business but there is something nice about seeing a finished plate after it comes out of the fire. We just keep our heads down and do the work as it comes. Usually, the trucks arrive in the late afternoon to pick up what we’ve finished that day.
