Shami Slates

Our business is located in the IDA Industrial Area in Prakasham District, specifically at Sh.No.3-18. Being in an industrial area means we are surrounded by all sorts of factories and warehouses. It is a practical location for working with slates. The ground around here is a bit rugged and there is always the sound of trucks coming and going. We spend most of our time in the shed, sorting through materials and making sure the slates are cut properly. It is not a clean job, and our hands are usually stained by the end of the shift. We have a small area where we sit down for lunch, usually just some benches tucked away from the main work floor. The sun can get really hot in this part of the district, so we are glad for the high roof and the breeze that blows through the open sides of the building. We do not have a lot of visitors, mostly just delivery drivers and the occasional neighbor from the next unit over. We have been here at this shop number for quite a while, so we have a routine that works for us. We start early to beat the heat and try to get the heavy lifting done before the afternoon sun is at its peak. It is a quiet, steady kind of life. We just focus on the slates and making sure we stay on top of the daily pile. It is just a simple industrial unit.
