Dlf Laing O'Rourke (I) Ltd.

Down here in Barapalli, Dlf Laing O'Rourke (I) Ltd. is a bit of a local fixture. We are situated in the Nayagarh district of Orissa. It’s a different pace of life here compared to the big cities, and we like that. Our office serves as a hub for the various projects we have going on in the region. There isn't much fancy technology or a slick office design in the building. It’s mostly just paper, pens, and a lot of muddy boots by the door. The staff here is mostly local folks who know the area and the weather well. We deal with the roads as they are, which can be a challenge during the monsoon. Sometimes it's dusty, sometimes it's muddy, but the work has to happen either way. Mornings are for figuring out the logistics and our afternoons are spent out at the sites. We aren't much for big speeches. We just know what needs to be built and we go about doing it. People in the village know where to find us. It’s a small community and being good neighbors matters. Our desks are usually covered in a layer of dust, but that’s just part of the job. We've been here for a good while and have no plans to move. It’s simple, hard work, and that suits the team just fine. We just keep our heads down and work.
