Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

Our spot in Kolkata is a bit unique because we are operating out of the Tata Projects Ltd. area. Tapas Kumar Nayak is the main contact here for the L&T ECC Division. Kolkata is a crowded, busy place, and our office reflects that energy. There is always something happening. We are surrounded by other projects and engineers, so the talk is almost always about work. It’s a very practical environment. We don’t have much room for anything that isn't necessary for the job. You’ll see plenty of maps and blueprints spread out on the tables. The humidity in Kolkata can be a lot, so the fans are always running. We get our tea from the shop around the corner, and that’s usually the highlight of the afternoon. It is not a place for tourists or anyone looking for a show. It is strictly about getting the engineering and construction details right. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at screens. Even though we are a big company like Larsen & Toubro Ltd., this specific office feels more like a tight-knit crew. We know our neighbors and we know the city. It’s a lot of hard work, but we are used to the pace. Everything moves fast here, and we just try to keep up.
