Hindustan Construction Company Ltd, Mumbai

Over at Lok Gaurav Apartments in Vikhroli West, you’ll find the Mumbai office for Hindustan Construction Company Ltd, Mumbai. We are in unit 610-B/B3. Being in Mumbai means everything is tight for space, and our office is no exception. We have desks squeezed in wherever they fit, and the hallways are often lined with boxes of records that we haven’t found a better place for yet. Vikhroli is a busy hub, and the commute here can be a real struggle for some of the staff, but we all make it in somehow. The atmosphere is generally busy and a bit loud. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and talking on the phone. It’s not a polished corporate environment. It feels more like a workshop where the tools are computers and calculators. We have a small area for making tea which gets used a lot. The windows look out over other buildings, and you can always hear the city hum. We don't have a receptionist in a suit; usually, whoever is closest to the door just looks up to see who is there. It’s a very hands-on way of working. We handle the paperwork and the planning that keeps the construction sites running. It’s a lot of small details that have to be right, so we just focus on that and don't worry about the rest. It is a lot of work but it keeps us busy.
