Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd.

Our office is out in Isapur, near Pipla, in the Saoner area of Nagpur. It’s a bit of a trek from the main city, but that is where the work takes us. Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd. has projects out here that need constant attention. Being in a rural part of the district means we have to be more self-reliant. We don’t have all the conveniences of a big city office, but we have everything we need to get the job done. Most of our day is spent at the actual project sites, and we just use the office at Isapur for the administrative stuff. It’s a quiet place, mostly surrounded by fields and open space. We have a small crew here. We know the local people and we try to work well with everyone in the community. The weather in Nagpur can be really hot, so we usually start early to get as much done as possible before noon. We handle the site reports and the payroll for the workers from here. It’s a lot of counting and checking, but it’s important. We don't really have any big goals other than finishing the projects we started. It's about being practical and showing up every day. There is a lot of pride in seeing a structure go up where there was nothing before. We stay focused on the tasks and don't worry about much else. It is just the way we do things out here.
