Essel Mining & Industries Limited(Aditya Vikram Birla Group)

You can find us over at Nandi Sahi in Cuttack. We are set up at Om Prakash Sharma’s place, working alongside the Shree Santosh team. It’s a bit of a shared space, which is common in this part of Orissa. The 753001 area is right in the thick of things. Our daily life involves a lot of back-and-forth communication regarding the mining business. We aren't in a skyscraper or a modern glass building. It’s a more traditional setting where people know each other’s names and stop to talk in the hallways. We handle a lot of the administrative side of the operations from here. There is always a lot of paperwork and people coming by with questions or deliveries. We don't use a lot of fancy corporate talk. We just speak plainly about what needs to be finished before the day ends. The atmosphere is busy but informal. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded with all the files and the people, but we make it work. It’s just how things are done here in Cuttack. We’ve been at this address for a long time, and it feels like a natural part of our daily routine. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just focus on the mining industry work that comes across our desks and try to stay organized in our own way. It's just a regular group of people doing their jobs.
