Kiran Brick Industries

Up here in Chikmangalore, specifically around Huligere Estate, the air is usually a bit cooler, which helps when you're working around kilns. Kiran Brick Industries has been operating out of this part of Kadur Taluk for some time. It's a quiet area mostly, surrounded by greenery, but our yard stays active with the sound of tractors and workers. We make bricks because that's what the local builders need. It's straightforward work. We take the earth, shape it, and let it set. Some days are slower than others, depending on the orders coming in from around the Huligere Po area. We aren't a big corporation with hundreds of people. It’s just a local crew that knows how to handle the material. The estate gives us plenty of space to spread things out. You get used to the smell of burning wood and the red dust everywhere. Our families live nearby, so this place feels like home more than a factory. We don't have a big sign or a fancy gate, just the stacks of bricks waiting to be loaded onto trucks. Sometimes the roads get muddy after a heavy rain, and that slows things down, but we manage. We just keep the wheels turning here in Kadur Taluk, making sure there's enough supply for whoever stops by. We stick to what we do and don't change much.
