Pidilite Industries Ltd

Operating out of New Delhi, we are right in the thick of the city’s chaos. It’s a fast-moving environment where the phones don’t seem to stop ringing some days. The office is pretty basic, just a few rows of desks with old computers and heaps of paper everywhere. We deal with a lot of people coming in and out, from delivery guys to local shopkeepers looking for stock. There’s always a faint smell of chemicals or glue in the air, which we’ve mostly stopped noticing after all these years. The floor is concrete, and it shows the wear and tear of boxes being dragged across it every day. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that; whoever is closest to the door just looks up and helps whoever walked in. It can get pretty loud when the trucks are idling outside, and we have to shout over the engines to be heard. We keep a stash of biscuits in the drawer for when the afternoon slump hits. There’s no big mission statement on the wall, just a whiteboard with a list of tasks that never seems to get shorter. We focus on getting the orders out and making sure the inventory is correct. It’s a simple, honest way to spend the day, even if it’s a bit messy and loud most of the time. We’ve been in this New Delhi spot for years, and the routine hasn't changed much, just the names on the delivery sheets.
