M/S Prakash Industries Ltd., Champa (Cg).

Working at Prakash Industries in Korba means you are probably living in the NTPC township. Our office is located at Q No B/597 in Block 1 of Yamuna Vihar. It’s a quiet residential area, mostly people who work for the plants around here. Jamnipali is a long way from the big cities, but it’s got everything we need. The township has its own rhythm. We go to the office in the morning and it feels like home because, well, it’s a house. We have the computers set up in the front rooms. There’s a small garden outside that needs more watering than it gets. Most of the work involves coordinating things for the larger industry operations. We aren't making the steel or the power right here in this living room, but we handle the bits and pieces that keep the machine running. You can hear the hum of the town and the occasional truck on the main road. The weather in Chhattisgarh gets really hot, so the fans are always spinning at full speed. We drink a lot of water and try to get the filing done before the afternoon slump hits. It’s not a corporate skyscraper. It’s just a block in Yamuna Vihar where we keep track of the numbers and make sure the messages get through to the right people every single day.
