Kesoram Cement(B.K.Birla Group)

Our spot is right here in the staff colony at Kesoram Cement, specifically at C1-59. If you’ve ever been to Basantnagar in the Karimnagar district, you probably know how it is. It’s a dedicated place where everything revolves around the production of cement. We’ve been part of the B.K.Birla Group for a long time, and the colony has grown into its own little town. Living and working in the same area means you never really leave the job behind, but that’s fine with us. We see the same people at the tea stall that we see in the office or on the plant floor. The roads are always a bit white from the dust, and there’s a constant sound of engines, but you get used to it after a month or two. Andhra Pradesh heat is no joke, so we try to get most of the heavy work done early in the day before the sun gets too high. Our address is easy to find if you’re already inside the colony gates. We handle a lot of the day-to-day stuff that keeps things running smoothly. It’s not a fancy life, and we don’t try to make it seem like one. We’re just regular folks doing our bit in the cement industry. Most evenings are spent sitting outside the quarters, catching a bit of a breeze and talking about whatever happened at the plant that shift. It’s a simple, hardworking life for all of us.
