Electrosteel Castings Ltd. , Kolkata

We are located at N-1 Adarshpally, right in the Khardah area of North 24 Parganas. It is a busy part of Kolkata and the neighborhood around Post B.D. Sopan is always full of life. Our office and work area are tucked into this residential and commercial mix. You can hear the sounds of the street outside all day long. We have been here for years and the building has seen better days, but it serves us well. Inside, it is all about the day-to-day grind of managing the castings and metalwork. We don’t have fancy furniture or a coffee machine that does anything special. It is mostly just old wooden desks and stacks of papers. The guys working in the yard have a system that has worked since before I started here. We get the iron in and we move it out. It gets very humid in this part of Bengal, so the fans are always on full blast. Sometimes the power flickers but we just wait it out and get back to work. It’s a real local spot where we know the neighbors and the shopkeepers around the corner. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a big corporate look. We just want to get through the orders and make sure the logistics are sorted for the next day. It’s a simple, hardworking place that fits right into the Khardah rhythm.
