Dlf Laing O'Rourke

Over in Subhash Nagar, at 14/77, is where Dlf Laing O'Rourke has another one of its offices. Subhash Nagar has a very specific feel to it—very busy, lots of people, and very much a part of old West Delhi. The office is right in the middle of a residential block. It’s an older building, and the space inside is quite tight. We have been here for a long time. It’s not the kind of place you’d find in a movie, but it’s where we do our real work. We handle a lot of the local procurement and labor management from this desk. It gets noisy outside with the markets and the rickshaws, but we are used to it by now. The office is filled with files and old ledgers. We don’t have a lot of modern furniture; it’s mostly just things that have been there for years. We get our work done without any fuss. It’s a very grounded atmosphere. There is a local tea stall just around the corner that we all go to for a break. It’s a simple life here. We don’t try to be something we aren't. We just take care of the construction business as it comes. The people who work here live nearby, so there's a real sense of being part of the neighborhood. It’s just an honest, working office. We've got our routines and they work.
