Lakha Granites Pvt. Ltd.

Our place, Lakha Granites Pvt. Ltd., is at G-106 in the Riico Industrial Area. We are in the third phase where things are a bit more spread out and quiet. Working with stone is heavy and messy work. There is usually water everywhere because of the cutting saws we use. The granite slabs come in big and we have to move them around with the cranes very carefully. It’s dangerous if you don’t pay attention, so we stay focused on the task. The dust gets on everything, even inside the small office area. We spend our days looking at patterns in the rock to see where to cut. Every piece is a bit different, which is the most interesting part of the job to me. Some stones have cracks we have to work around or polish out. It’s a lot of physical labor and your back feels it by evening. We have a small team here at G-106. Most of us have been working with granite for years and know the trade. It’s a local business and we know the other guys in the industrial area well. We often drink tea together when the machines are finally turned off. It’s not a fancy setup at all. Just a yard full of stone and a building for the saws. We don’t do big advertising or anything. Most people find us because they saw our work elsewhere. We just focus on cutting the granite straight.
