Bell Granito Ceramica Limited

Our place is out in Village Gavasad, which is part of the Padra Taluka in Vadodara district. If you are driving out here, you’ll see a lot of fields before you get to D1/4 where we are. It’s an industrial spot but it definitely feels like the countryside. The roads get a bit dusty when the trucks go by carrying the granito materials. We spend a lot of time on the shop floor or in the small office area. It’s a practical setup. We don't have air conditioning in every corner, so we just deal with the heat like everyone else in Gujarat. There are a lot of workers from the nearby villages who come here every day. We know their families and what's going on in the village. It’s not a corporate headquarters with suits and ties. We wear work clothes because things get dirty when you’re dealing with ceramics and stone. The village doesn't have much in the way of big cafes, so we usually bring our tiffins from home and eat together during the break. The work is steady. We make sure the production keeps moving and the quality is okay. It’s a lot of manual work and keeping an eye on the machines. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back. It is just the way things are out here in Padra.
