Leighton Southern Asia Group

We are over in Gurgaon, specifically in Sushant Lok II. Our office is House No. 303 in G Block. It’s a residential building that we’ve converted into a workspace for the Southern Asia Group. Gurgaon can be a very shiny and corporate place with all those high-rise towers, but we’re in a much quieter part of town. It feels more like a home than an office most of the time. We have our desks set up in the different rooms, and the kitchen is where we all go for coffee and a chat. There’s no lobby or security guard at a front desk. You just ring the bell and someone comes to open the door. The work we do here is mostly about managing the broader regional stuff, so there’s a lot of emailing and international calls. Even so, it doesn’t feel like a big corporate machine. We have a small garden area out front where we sometimes take our laptops when the weather is nice in the winter. It’s a practical setup that saves us from the chaos of the main city traffic. We don't have any big slogans about being the best or anything. We just try to stay on top of the projects and keep the communication lines open between all the different sites. It’s a steady, regular job in a nice neighborhood, and that’s plenty for us. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
