Vedanta Aluminium Ltd

Down in Lanjigarh, which is in the Kalahandi district of Orissa, you will find our Vedanta Aluminium Ltd site. The post office is right there, and the pin code is 766027. It is a big area out here, and the landscape is quite different from the cities. We are surrounded by hills and a lot of open space. The work we do is pretty intense because it is a large alumina site. There is a lot of dust and noise, which you get used to after a week or so. We spend a lot of time outdoors or in the large sheds. It is not the kind of place where you wear a suit. Most of us are in boots and work gear. The sun can be really harsh in Orissa, so we drink a lot of water and try to stay in the shade when we can. Getting things from one place to another takes time because the site is spread out. We have our own rhythm here. It is a long way from the main towns, so we mostly rely on our own team. We see the same faces every day, which is nice. There is always some maintenance work being done or a truck waiting to be loaded up. It is a practical, hardworking environment without any of the corporate fluff you see in the big cities.
