Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co Ltd Unit Modern India Construction

This unit of Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co Ltd is based out in Gobara Sasan, near Charbatia in the Cuttack district. It is a bit of a trek to get out here, but this is where the work for Modern India Construction happens. Sandipta Mishra is usually the one managing the office details here. We are in a more rural part of Orissa, so things have a different pace than in the city. The office itself is very basic, with just enough room for the files and the desks we need for the construction unit. We handle local projects and most of the people working here are from the surrounding villages. It takes a lot of coordination to get equipment to the sites, especially when the weather isn't helping. The pin code here is 754028, which is helpful if you’re trying to find us on a map. It’s nothing like those high-rise offices; we have to deal with the mud and the local terrain all the time. We don’t have any flashy brochures or a marketing team to talk us up. We just have our daily schedule and the jobs we are trying to finish. Most folks in Gobara Sasan know who we are because we’ve been here for a long time. It’s a very practical setup for the type of construction work we do in this part of the state. We just keep working away every day.
