Gunakar Shetty Granite Co

The yard over here at 8-963-7 in Khambadakone stays pretty busy most mornings. We started Gunakar Shetty Granite Co because there was a lot of building going on nearby and people needed stone that wouldn't fall apart after a few years. It’s not a fancy office or anything like that. You’ll mostly find us out back near the slabs or sitting in the small room by the entrance when it gets too hot. My clothes usually have a bit of stone dust on them by noon, and that’s just how it goes when you work with this stuff. We spend a lot of time moving pieces around with the crane so people can see the patterns properly. It’s heavy work and sometimes our backs ache by the end of the day, but seeing a finished kitchen top makes it feel okay. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything; it’s just us here making sure the pieces are cut right. Sometimes the rain slows us down since the yard is open, but we just wait it out and get back to it. Most people around Khambadakone know where we are. We try to keep things simple and just give folks what they ask for without a lot of talking. It’s a basic business, really. We just show up, move some granite, and go home to our families when the sun goes down. We've been at this address for a long time and the neighborhood feels like home.
