Blue Dart Express Ltd.

If you walk into Saraswati Vihar in Chakarpur, you will find us at number 501. This is the Gurgaon office for Blue Dart Express Ltd., and it’s usually quite a hectic scene. There are always couriers coming in and out, and the sound of tape dispensers is basically the background music of our lives. Gurgaon gets incredibly hot in May, so we rely heavily on the air conditioning, which occasionally makes a loud rattling noise. I’ve been working here for a bit, and I’ve seen all sorts of packages go through these doors. From small envelopes to heavy boxes, we handle it all without much fuss. The office layout is a bit cramped because of all the folders and logbooks we have to keep. We get our lunch from a small place down the road that makes decent parathas. It’s a lot of manual data entry and checking addresses to make sure nothing gets lost. Sometimes people get frustrated when a flight is delayed, but we just try to figure it out. It’s not the kind of job you see in movies, but it is important for the people waiting for their deliveries. We know the local delivery routes like the back of our hands. Most of us live nearby, so the commute isn't too bad unless it rains and the streets flood. We just keep our heads down and get the work done day after day.
