Lafarge India P. Ltd

Our place is in Kolkata, specifically over in Behala. We are at 59, Panchanantala Lane. If you know Behala, you know the lanes can be a bit narrow and crowded. It’s a very traditional part of the city. We aren’t in one of those new IT parks or the big commercial buildings in Salt Lake. This is an old-school Kolkata neighborhood. The building is tucked away among houses and small shops. People walk by all day, and you can hear the sounds of the neighborhood—the rickshaws, the vendors, and the neighbors talking. Our office is just a few rooms on the ground level. We keep the windows open mostly to let the air move, though the humidity in Kolkata is always there. We have our old wooden desks and a lot of paper everywhere. It’s a busy little spot. We don't have any fancy air conditioning systems that work all the time; we just use the ceiling fans. The 700034 pin code is our little slice of South Kolkata. Working here feels different because you’re right in the middle of a living community. We go out to the local tea shop for breaks. It’s a very human way to work. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that here. We just handle the local business and make sure the deliveries in the city are tracked. It’s a simple setup in a very busy lane. It gets a bit loud when the markets are in full swing, but it's home.
