BHATTA MITRA

  On the Ground This Season: My Offline Experiences with Bhatta Owners What I Found Was an Industry That Had Already Given Up. And Why I Haven't. This post was not written from an office. Not from a dashboard. Not from a clean desk with a cup of tea and a good internet connection. It was written from a season spent back in the field — close to the kilns, close to the work, close to the people who have been doing this work for longer than I have. I am a brick kiln owner from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. I have been in this industry since 2013. I started Bhatta Mitra in 2025 — not because I had a great idea in a boardroom, but because after twelve years of living every problem this industry has to offer, I had run out of patience waiting for someone else to fix it. But this season — 2025-26 — I stepped away from the platform and went back to where it all began. Back to the bhatta. Back to the people. What I found was not what I expected. — — — What I Expected to Find After twelve yea...

BHATTA MITRA DIARIES  JULY 29, 2025  Namskaram to all of our readers. As you must have known from our first blog, our main root problem was hiring the wrong labour contractors. So in this blog we will talk about right labour hiring policies. I am following these rules while hiring labour contractors and i hope that it would be good for all brick kiln owners as well.   Let’s discuss what are the major problems:  1.
