Hindustan Coca Cola Beverage Pvt. Ltd.

Working here at Plot No. 60 in the Khurda Industrial Estate is a bit different from a regular office job. It's a big place, and there is always noise from the machines. We handle a lot of beverages here. You see the trucks coming in and out all day long. The industrial estate can get pretty dusty and crowded during the shift changes. We've been here for quite some time now. Most of us live nearby or commute from the city. It’s a lot of physical work, keeping the lines moving and making sure the crates are stacked right. We don't really sit around much. There’s a canteen where we grab a bite and talk about the news or how the local cricket team is doing. It’s a steady job. We don't really think about the big corporate side of things much. For us, it’s just about this specific plant and the people we work with every day. The weather in Khurda can get really hot, which makes the work tougher, but we get through it. Sometimes the machinery acts up, and we have to scramble to fix it before things get backed up. It's just part of the routine. We aren't trying to be anything we're not. We just make sure the drinks are ready to go out to the shops. It is a loud, busy place, but it is our place.
