Aditya Birla Group (Ultratech Cement Ltd)

Out in the Sirsi area of Uttara Kannada, our office is located in the village of Narur. It’s a very quiet spot compared to the other places we have. The surroundings are mostly green, and it feels much more rural. We are part of the UltraTech Cement Ltd division under the Aditya Birla Group. The office building is small and fits right in with the local houses and shops. Getting here takes some time because of the winding roads and the hills in this part of Karnataka. During the monsoon, the rain is incredibly heavy, and everything stays damp for months. We spend our days tracking shipments and talking to local distributors. It’s a slow and steady kind of work. We don't have the fancy tech or the high-speed atmosphere of a city office. Sometimes the internet is a bit slow, so we have to be patient. There’s a lot of birdsong in the mornings, which is nice. We mostly keep to ourselves and get the tasks finished by the evening. The locals all know where we are, so we don't need a big sign. It’s a modest place where we do what’s needed without making any fuss. It’s just us and the trees and the work we have to do for the day. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts, but we just wait them out and resume our work later on.
