Larsen & Toubro Limited

Our base is in Saunda, which is part of the Hazaribagh district in Jharkhand. It’s a place that is very tied to the land and the local industries here. Larsen & Toubro Limited has been a presence in this area for a while, and we are the ones who handle the daily operations on the ground. The office is functional and nothing more. We have the basic tools we need to manage our projects and keep everything on schedule. It can get quite dusty outside depending on the season, so we spend a lot of time cleaning the windows and our desks. Most of us here are locals who understand how things work in this part of the state. We don't use much fancy language; we just talk about the work that needs to be finished by the end of the week. There’s a lot of heavy lifting involved in what we do, figuratively and sometimes literally. We spend our days coordinating with teams and checking on progress at different sites. It’s a busy life, but it’s good to see things actually getting built in our town. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. We are just a group of people working hard in Saunda to make sure our part of the project goes smoothly. It’s a practical way of doing business, and it seems to work well for us and the people we work with every day. We usually end the day with a quick meeting to plan for tomorrow.
