Cocacola Company,Maldives

Living and working in Pollachi is different than being in the big city. Our spot is in Suleswaran Patti. It’s a place where everyone kind of knows each other, or at least they know the building. We’ve been operating from here for some time now, just taking care of the day-to-day business that comes our way. It gets pretty hot during the summers, so we usually have the windows shut and the coolers running most of the time. It’s not a big corporate setup with glass walls or anything like that. Just some desks and computers and a couple of people trying to stay on top of the workload. The Maldives connection sounds a bit far off when you are sitting here in the middle of Pollachi, but that’s just how things are organized for us. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at the computer screen. Sometimes the internet is a bit slow, but we get by. Outside, the street is usually quiet unless it’s market day or something. We take our tea breaks at the same time every day. It’s a steady rhythm. Nothing too exciting happens, but we like it that way because we can actually get some work done. The office is easy enough to find if you know the area. We just focus on what’s in front of us and try to make sure we don't fall behind. It’s just us doing our thing here in the Patti.
