Usha Martin Ltd.

Usha Martin Ltd. is based out in Gamhaia, which is part of the larger Jamshedpur area in Jharkhand. If you’ve ever been to Gamhaia, you know it’s a place where things are happening all the time. It’s dusty and loud and full of trucks, and our office is right in the middle of all that activity. We don't have a polished lobby or any of that corporate stuff. Our space is just a few rooms where we keep the books and handle the scheduling. It’s a very hands-on environment. Most of us wear sturdy shoes because you never know when you’ll have to step outside into the yard. The day is filled with the sound of machinery in the distance and the constant ringing of phones. We don't use a lot of big words or talk about missions. We just focus on making sure the materials get to where they are supposed to go. It’s a lot of work, especially when the summer heat hits, but we just keep the fans going and get through it. We take our breaks when we can and usually talk about local things or what’s for dinner. It’s a very grounded way to work. We aren't trying to be the most important people; we are just trying to get the paperwork finished. That is how we run things here at the Gamhaia office. It’s just life in an industrial town.
