Larsen & Toubro

Down here at 7, Nazir Lane in Khidderpore, things stay pretty busy. We are right in the heart of Kolkata, West Bengal. Larsen & Toubro has had this spot for a while. It’s an old part of the city, so the lanes are a bit narrow and you have to watch where you’re going. The building itself has some character, maybe more than we need sometimes. It’s not like those new offices in Salt Lake. Here, it’s a bit more real. We have the usual office noise, printers humming and people talking over each other. It gets a bit humid during the monsoon, and the walls might need a fresh coat of paint soon, but it works fine for what we do. We aren't here to look pretty. We’re here to handle the logistics and the engineering bits that come our way. Most of the guys here have been with the company for years. We know the tea seller on the corner and the best way to avoid the traffic jams near the port. It’s a tight-knit group in this office. We don't have those long mission statements hanging on the walls. We just have calendars and project timelines. It’s a practical place for practical people. If you ever find yourself on Nazir Lane, you’ll see our door at number 7. It’s just a standard office where we put in the hours and try to get things right.
