Bhagyalaxmi Cement Industries

Our business, Bhagyalaxmi Cement Industries, is located at Plot No. 6/7 in the M. I. D. C. area right along the Kavathemahankal Jath Highway. Being on the highway means we get a lot of dust and a lot of noise from the trucks going back and forth. It is a very industrial setting. We spend most of our time out in the yard where the cement is stacked. The bags are heavy, and moving them around is hard work, especially when the sun is beating down on the plot. We have a small shed where we keep the paperwork, but it is mostly about the physical labor here. We don't have any corporate uniforms or anything like that. We just wear clothes that we don't mind getting grey with cement dust. Sometimes the wind picks up and everything gets covered in a thin layer of grit. We have a big gate that stays open during the day so the lorries can pull in and out easily. The drivers often stop for a quick chat or a glass of water while we are loading up their vehicles. It is a simple, honest way to make a living. We have seen the highway get busier over the years, but our routine stays pretty much the same. We focus on the daily tasks of managing the stock and making sure the orders are ready. It is a practical business without any extra frills or fancy offices. The scale we use for the bags is old but it still gives an accurate reading every single time.
