HOUSE OF BRICKS BY SHIVAKARI LLP

HOUSE OF BRICKS BY SHIVAKARI LLP is over on the GT Road in Shahdara. Our specific spot is 20-D, Storey. It’s a busy road with a lot of trucks and buses constantly zooming past. Being in Shahdara means we are right in the thick of things. We deal with bricks, as the name suggests. The storage area is usually full of different types of bricks stacked high. It's a lot of heavy lifting and counting. We spend a lot of time outdoors or in the warehouse part of the building. The dust is just something you get used to after the first week. We’ve got a few people who help with the loading and the deliveries. The office part is just a small corner where we keep the ledger and the phone. It's noisy because of the GT Road traffic, so you have to shout a bit sometimes to be heard. We started this because there was a lot of rebuilding happening in this part of Delhi. People always need bricks. We don't have any polished sales pitches or glossy catalogs. We just show people what we have in the yard and they decide if it works for their wall or their house. It’s an honest way to make a living. We’ve seen the road change over the years, but the brick business stays pretty much the same. We just keep the stacks neat and make sure the orders are ready when the customer shows up.
