Prashanthi Stones Impex Pvt. Ltd.

You can find us at Plot No. 11 in Doraiswamy Garden, which is over in the Nanganallur area. It’s a fairly quiet spot for a stone business, tucked away a bit from the loudest parts of the city. At Prashanthi Stones Impex, we deal with heavy slabs all day, so the ground is usually covered in a bit of stone dust and the sound of the crane or the forklift is pretty constant. We’ve got a small yard where we keep the different types of stone stacked up. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find a fancy showroom with bright lights and mirrors. Instead, it’s just rows of granite and marble leaning against the supports. We spend a lot of time walking around the yard with customers, showing them the different patterns and colors that come in. The weather in Nanganallur can get really humid, so by midday, we’re all looking for some shade under the corrugated roof of the shed. It’s a practical environment where we focus on getting the measurements right and making sure the slabs don't get chipped during loading. We don't have a big staff, just enough people to handle the heavy lifting and the basic bookkeeping in the small cabin near the gate. It’s hard work, and your hands get rough after a few years, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that we like. We stay busy enough that the days usually go by pretty fast.
