Ashok Leyland Finance

Our office is located in Gagan Awaas, specifically Flat No 4 in Block A. It’s in the Gajapati Nagar area of Bhubaneswar. It’s more of a residential building, so it feels a bit like being at home while we work. Ashok Leyland Finance is the name on the entrance. We’ve got a small balcony where we keep a few potted herbs, though the heat in Odisha can be tough on them. Inside, the rooms are converted into office spaces. It is a bit tight when we have more than a few people over, but we make it work. We have a small kitchen area where we make tea several times a day. Most of our work involves a lot of reading and looking at numbers. It’s quiet most afternoons, aside from the sound of the ceiling fan. We know the security guards at the gate and they know us. It’s a friendly atmosphere in the building. We aren’t a massive corporate headquarters, just a local branch doing our thing. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit messy, so we spend Fridays tidying up. Bhubaneswar is growing fast, but Gajapati Nagar still has a bit of a relaxed feel to it. We like being based here. It’s a practical spot for us to handle the daily grind without any unnecessary fuss. The commute isn't too bad for most of the staff either.
