Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited

If you go to the 8th floor of Telephone Bhavan on CG Road, that is where you’ll find us. This is the accounts office for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited here in Ahmedabad. It’s a busy part of Navrangpura, and being up on the 8th floor gives us a decent view of the city, though we are usually too buried in ledgers to look out the window much. This office handles all the money stuff, the billing, and the vendor payments that keep things running. It’s a very practical workspace with rows of computers and stacks of folders that never seem to get smaller. We aren’t the ones out fixing lines; we are the ones making sure the numbers add up at the end of the month. Working in a place like Telephone Bhavan has a certain feel to it, very traditional and steady. The elevators can be a bit slow during the lunch hour when everyone is heading out to find some snacks on CG Road. We have a lot of staff who have been here for decades, so there is a lot of history in these halls. We deal with a lot of paperwork every single day. It might seem boring to some, but it’s what keeps the communication network going for the whole area. We just show up, do our work, and try to make sure everything is sorted before we head home for the day.
