“I have been selling clay and ceramic pots for the last 12 years. I stay here in Hyderabad with my family. My kids go to school nearby and my parents and wife help me out in the process of selling pots. I don’t prepare them on my own but I buy all these items from potters and sell them for a reasonable price.

The frequency of customers visiting our stall now a days is good. I get more orders during summers because that’s when people prefer buying earthenware pots. This has been our tradition for so many years but due to the availability of other alternatives, the sales have come down a bit these days. Nonetheless, because of the health benefits associated with the earthenware, people are now coming forward to take these pots.

Speaking about the lockdown, it was difficult not only for me but for many who were doing such business. I had to shut down everything and sit at home. It was not easy at all for us.

As things started to improve, we are slowly getting back on track. In the coming years, I want to expand the business and set up another stall nearby as well to provide for my family.”
