Ipca Laboratories Ltd.

Up here on Meli Jorethang Road, things move at a different pace. We are located at Gom Block in the South District, right by Bharikhola. Working at this Ipca Laboratories site means dealing with the mountain weather every day. It’s not like those shiny labs you see in the city. Here, we deal with the mist coming off the hills and the long drive up the winding roads. The facility is spread across 393 and 394, and it’s a lot of concrete and steel tucked into the green landscape. Most of us live nearby or commute from the local towns. We spend our shifts in lab coats, keeping an eye on the gauges and making sure the batches are moving through correctly. It’s repetitive work, but it’s what we do. The canteen is the main spot where everyone catches up during shift changes. We talk about the rain or the road conditions mostly. It’s a quiet area, except for the hum of the ventilation system. We just follow the protocols and get the shipments ready for the trucks that head down the valley. It’s a long way from the head office, but we keep the place running 24 hours a day. It’s just a regular job for regular people in a beautiful part of the world. No fuss, just the daily grind and the sound of the machines. We make sure everything is packed and labeled before the afternoon fog rolls in.
