With the third generation working in the brickmaking business, Jindal Bricks has always focused upon customer satisfaction as the key to business success. Lakshay Jindal, Director and CMO, Jindal Bricks, shares more on the company’s plans in the near future, current trends and growth prospects.

Congratulations on receiving an E3 certification for Jindal Bricks! We hear you plan to set up a new experience store in Bengaluru.

Thank you very much! As a brick manufacturer, it gives me immense pride in holding the E3 Certificate. We at Jindal Bricks want to create an even higher benchmark for bricks and related products. The experience store in Bengaluru has been in the pipeline since pre-COVID. The store will be operational in the first quarter of the next financial year. The entire team is excited to interact with architects and designers in southern India and cater to its demands.

Tell us about the product range that will be showcased in the new store.

We want to begin with only four categories of products: Face bricks (extruded and press); brick cladding tiles in all five colours and textures; pavers (all varieties); and roof tiles (50 mm and 80 mm). A total of over 70 products will be showcased in the Bengaluru store and other products from Jindal Bricks will also be available on order.
