Air Express Couriers

Working at Air Express Couriers in Gurgaon H.O. is mostly about managing piles of boxes and envelopes. The office is right in the middle of everything, so it gets noisy with all the traffic outside. We spend most of the day sorting through things that need to go out. It's a small team here. Most of us have been around for a few years, so we know how the routine goes. The morning is the most chaotic time when the vans arrive. We don't really do the fancy corporate talk. We just make sure things get put on the right shelf or in the right bag. Sometimes the computer system acts up and we have to write things down by hand, which is a bit of a pain. Gurgaon is always growing, so there are always new buildings and addresses to figure out. The delivery guys are usually in a rush, grabbing their keys and heading out as fast as they can. We keep a pot of tea going in the back room for when someone needs a break. It's not the most glamorous job, but it’s steady. People come in with all sorts of things they need to send. We just take the parcel, weigh it, and tell them when it might get there. No big promises, just doing the work. It’s been this way for a long time and we don't see that changing anytime soon. It’s just how we live.
