Shapoorji Pallonji & Co Ltd

You can find us on the third floor at 26 Masihgarh, specifically in Room No-1 over in Sukhdev Vihar. It’s a bit of a climb up to the office here in New Delhi, but it’s where Shapoorji Pallonji & Co Ltd gets its work done for this part of the city. The office is usually filled with the sound of fans and people talking about steel and concrete. We handle a lot of the regional coordination from this small space. It's crowded with maps and project charts pinned to the walls. We don’t have a big fancy lobby, just some desks and a lot of commitment to getting the engineering right. New Delhi is a fast place, and we try to keep up with the pace of all the new buildings. The staff here knows the local area well. We spend a lot of time on the phone with contractors and checking on how the foundation work is going at various sites. It’s not a glamorous job, mostly just making sure the numbers add up and the trucks are on time. We’ve been part of the landscape for a long time now. We don't go out of our way to talk about ourselves much. We just focus on the drawings and the site reports that come in every evening. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until late. We often have people coming in with samples of stone or tiles, and the desks get covered in dust. It’s a very hands-on way to run an office.
