M/S Manikgarh Cement Gadchandur (Ms)

Living and working in Gadchandur is a specific kind of life. Our office for M/S Manikgarh Cement is actually located in the staff colony here. If you look for Quarter Number D8/6, that’s where you will find us. It is not like a city office with elevators and carpets. It is a house in the colony that serves as our base. The air here always has that faint smell of the plant, and everyone knows everyone else. Most of the people living around us work for the same company, so work and life kind of blend together. We spend our mornings checking on the loads and making sure the staff schedules are sorted out. It gets quite warm in Maharashtra during the summer months, so the colony stays quiet in the middle of the day. We have been here for a long time, watching the cycles of the cement business go up and down. There is a lot of paperwork involved in handling cement bags and keeping track of the machinery. Sometimes the power goes out, or the phones act up, but we manage to stay on top of things. It’s a small team here at this specific quarter. We don't have a big sign outside, just the address that people use to find us for meetings or to drop off documents. It is a steady way of living, tucked away in this part of Chandrapur district.
