Bhiwaniwal Steels (India)

We’ve been tucked away in Naraina for quite a while now. If you know Loha Mandi, you know how busy it gets around here. Our office is up on the first floor of Ashoka Complex, room Y-9/107. It’s not a fancy place, mostly just desks and piles of paperwork from the steel orders we handle every day. The stairs are a bit narrow, and it can get pretty loud outside with the trucks coming in and out of the market. Most days start early with a cup of tea while we look over what needs to be moved. We don’t have any big corporate slogans or anything. It’s just us doing the work. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re usually too busy to worry about that. People come by mostly because they know where we are and they’ve worked with us before. It’s a bit dusty in this part of town, that’s just how it is in a steel market. We spend a lot of time on the phone or checking the stock records. Sometimes the electricity acts up, but we manage. It’s a straightforward life here. We see the same faces every morning and that makes the days go by easier. We just try to keep things organized so the loading and unloading happens without too much trouble. It's a simple operation, really, just keeping the metal moving and making sure the counts are right at the end of the shift.
