For Morbi ceramic manufacturers whose businesses scaled faster than their lives did.
Growth that outran everything else
This is one of the largest ceramic tile clusters in the world, and the businesses here scaled extraordinarily fast. The recurring theme in sessions is a factory that grew from twenty people to three hundred while the owner's habits, delegation and home life stayed where they were in 2010.
Margin pressure and the identity of the grinder
Export competition and thin margins reward relentless personal involvement. That works until it becomes the only way a person knows how to operate, at which point it starts costing more than it earns - usually at home first.
Sessions
Online, generally in Gujarati, and scheduled around production shifts rather than office hours.
