Shri Balaji Stones

We've been at Plot No. 450 on Subhash Marg for quite a while now. People usually find us easily because we're right in Gandhi Colony, just off the main road. Dealing with stones is what we do every day. It's dusty work sometimes, but that is just how the business goes. Most of the folks who come in are neighbors or people building something small in the area. We keep a variety of slabs and blocks around the yard. It isn't a fancy setup, just a regular place where you can see what you are buying. My family helps out with the loading and keeping track of the inventory. We spend most of our mornings moving heavy pieces around and making sure things are organized. If you're driving down Subhash Marg, you'll see the stacks of stone outside. We don't have a big office or anything, just a desk and a couple of chairs for when people want to sit and talk about their projects. The sun gets pretty hot out here in the afternoons, so we try to get the heavy lifting done early. Dealing with natural stone means every piece is a bit different. Some have cracks or weird colors, but that's just part of it. We just show people what we have available at the moment. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. Nothing too complicated about it. We’ve got some granite and marble usually, and we just tell people what it costs without any bartering.
