M/S. Maithan Ispat Limited

You can find us over at the Housing Board Colony in Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar. The office is at HIG 4/3, right near the BPC petrol pump, which makes it easy for people to find us when they’re lost. M/S. Maithan Ispat Limited has been using this space in Orissa for a while now. It’s a standard residential area turned into a workspace, so it has that lived-in feel. We have a small crew here handling the admin side of things. It’s not the kind of place with a big sign or glass doors. We mostly just keep to ourselves and focus on the paperwork that comes in from the plants. The rooms are filled with steel cabinets and stacks of ledgers. On hot afternoons, it gets pretty warm inside, but we manage. There is a lot of back-and-forth communication with our other sites, so the phones are usually ringing. It is a bit of a commute for some of us, but the neighborhood is decent. We don’t go in for any of that corporate branding stuff; we just need a place to sit and organize the logistics. It’s a very basic setup, just enough to get the daily business sorted without any distractions. We know the local tea stall guy and the postman pretty well. It’s just a normal office where people work hard. It’s simple and it works for us.
