Emami Paper Mills Ltd.Balasore(Orissa)

This specific branch of the mill is out in Balasore, Orissa. Specifically, we are over at Sadhana Kutir in the village of Shrikanthapur. Balaram Sahoo and N.N. Kar are the names on the door most people recognize around here. Working in a village setting is different than being in the main headquarters. It’s a bit slower in terms of the surroundings, but the work itself keeps us very busy. We have the 756001 pin code for our letters. The paper mill life means dealing with a lot of logistics and physical materials every single day. We spend most of our time at the site making sure things are moving along as they should. The office at Sadhana Kutir isn't some high-rise building; it’s more like a house that’s been turned into a functional workspace. We have plenty of trees around and the air is different than what you find in the city. There are always people coming in with questions or deliveries to drop off. We don't have a big marketing department here or anyone to write fancy speeches. It is just a group of people who know how paper production works and what needs to happen to get the orders filled. We take our lunches together and talk about local things. It is a simple life but the work is important to the community here in Balasore. We are just local people doing the job. The mill has its own rhythm and we just follow it every day. It's a lot of manual tracking.
