Riga Sugar Company Limited

We've been at No. 14 Netaji Subhas Road for a while now, up on the second floor. Dealing with sugar means a lot of paperwork and phone calls to the mills. The office gets a bit dusty sometimes because of all the old files, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. People come and go throughout the day, mostly talking about stock levels and transport schedules. Netaji Subhas Road is always noisy, so we’ve gotten used to the sound of traffic while we work. It isn't a fancy place with modern furniture. We have heavy desks and chairs that have been around for years. Sometimes the elevator works, sometimes it doesn't, so we take the stairs. Most of us here have worked in the sugar trade for most of our lives, so we know the cycles of the harvest and the market. It’s a steady job. We don’t spend much time on decorations. The walls have some old calendars and charts. Lunch usually happens at our desks, or someone goes out to get tea for everyone. It’s just a group of people making sure the sugar gets where it needs to go without too much trouble. We don't try to be anything other than a working office. If you walk up to the second floor, you’ll see us there, probably busy with a ledger or on a call.
