Andrew Yule & Co. Ltd.

We are based out at the Choonabhutti Tea Estate. It is a big area in the Jalpaiguri district, and the local post office is in Chamurchi. This is not just an office; it is a whole estate with fields and a factory. Andrew Yule & Co. Ltd. has been operating here for a long time. It is a very large area and there is always something that needs fixing. The buildings at Choonabhutti have been around for a very long time. They have that old style with big porches and high roofs. Working here means you are always dealing with the weather. In Jalpaiguri, the monsoon can be very heavy and everything gets muddy. We do not have the kind of office where people wear suits. Most of us are in boots and clothes that we do not mind getting dirty. There are hundreds of people working across the estate. It is a big responsibility to keep everything moving. We have the factory where the leaves are processed, and it is a very loud and hot place during the peak season. We do not really talk about goals or missions here. We just talk about the harvest and the rain. It is a tough life sometimes, but it is a good one. Being part of Andrew Yule & Co. Ltd. means being part of the history of Chamurchi. We just keep the work going every single day.
