Birla Cement Works

You can find us at House Number 432 on the first floor in Sector 20-A. We are in Chandigarh, which is a nice enough place to be based. Birla Cement Works is what the sign says. It is a residential area mostly, so it is pretty calm compared to the industrial zones. We have got our office upstairs, and it is where we handle the administrative side of things. There is a lot of paperwork involved in the cement business that people do not always see from the outside. We keep things simple here. A few desks, some chairs, and a lot of old files. It is not the kind of place with a lobby or a receptionist greeting you. Usually, one of us just looks up from the desk when the door opens. We spend our mornings going through orders and making sure the logistics for the day are sorted out. Sector 20-A is easy to get to, which helps when people need to drop off documents or pick something up. The stairs up to the first floor are a bit narrow, so you have to be careful when you walk up. We have been working from this house for a while now. It feels more comfortable than a big corporate tower. We know the milkman and the local shopkeepers. It is just a regular working day for us, nothing fancy at all. We focus on the tasks at hand and try to get home at a decent hour. (251 words)
