Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

Our office is tucked away in Jananagari, right near the Agarpara post office in Kolkata. It’s a part of the city that has its own pace, and we’ve adapted to it over the years. The building itself is older, but it works for what we do every day. We handle a lot of the logistics and planning for the construction sites from this desk-filled space for Larsen & Toubro Ltd. It gets quite humid here during the summer months, so the fans are always spinning to keep us cool. We have stacks of files and binders everywhere because there’s always something to keep track of. It’s not the most modern setup you’ll see, but we get the job done without much fuss or complaint. The neighbors are mostly families, so it feels more like a residential area than a business hub. We like that it’s a bit quieter than being right in the middle of the city center. Most of the staff here have been around for a long time, so we know the local vendors and where to get the best tea in the afternoon. It’s a straightforward operation. We show up, check the progress reports, talk to the engineers on-site, and try to keep everything moving forward. There’s nothing flashy about it, just people working on computers and talking on phones all day. It’s our little corner of Kolkata where the planning happens before the actual building starts. We don't have a fancy lobby, just a lot of hardworking people trying to stay organized.
