Associated Cement Cos. ( Acc )

Over on Street 62/5 in the Wadi area of Gulbarga, that’s where you’ll find this particular office for Associated Cement Cos., or ACC as everyone calls it. We’re right in the thick of the ACC Colony, which is basically a small town in itself. It’s a bit different from some of the other streets because we’ve got our own little rhythm going here. Being in Karnataka, we deal with a lot of local stuff, even though the company is huge. The office isn’t anything special to look at, just a place with some chairs, desks, and a lot of paper. We spend our days tracking shipments and talking to drivers. It’s dusty work because of the cement, but you get used to that pretty quick. Everyone knows everyone else in the colony, so news travels fast. If a truck is late or a machine needs a part, we’re usually the ones hearing about it first. We don’t use any of those big corporate words to describe what we do. We’re just here to make sure the cement gets made and sent out. The sun gets really hot in the afternoons, so we usually try to get the heavy lifting done early. It’s a simple life, focused on production and making sure the numbers add up at the end of the day. We’ve been at this for a long time, and we plan on staying right here on Street 62/5.
