Ambuja Cements Ltd.

Our office is in the Elegant Business Park, specifically on MIDC Cross Road B. It’s right opposite the Andheri Kurla Road, which is basically one of the busiest spots in Mumbai. Getting here in the morning is a bit of a struggle because the traffic is always backed up near the junction. The building itself is okay, it has a glass front and a security guard at the desk who usually says hello when we walk in. Even though it’s a big company name on the door, inside the office feels like any other workplace. We have cubicles and a coffee machine that sometimes runs out of beans before noon. We spend a lot of time on computers or on the phone. From the windows, you can see the metro line and all the people rushing to catch their trains. It’s a fast-paced area, but we try to keep things steady inside. We don’t really do anything flashy. There’s a small breakroom where people leave their umbrellas when it’s monsoon season. The carpets are a dark grey color so they don't show the dirt from everyone’s shoes. We deal with a lot of paperwork regarding cement shipments and schedules. It’s a lot of coordinating between different people. Most of us have been working here a few years now, so we know how the routine goes. It's just a regular day-to-day job in a very busy part of the city. The elevators take forever during the lunch hour, so some of us just walk down the stairs to get some air.
