Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd.

We are located at 274/17 in Swatantra Nagar, which is up in the Narela part of Delhi. It’s a busy, working-class neighborhood and our office fits right in. At Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd., we don’t spend much time worrying about how the office looks to outsiders. We’re too busy keeping track of our various projects across the city. The desks are always cluttered with half-drunk cups of tea and stacks of technical drawings. It gets pretty loud during the day with the traffic outside and people coming in to drop off samples or pick up papers. We’ve got a small crew here, and everyone knows their job. We don’t have any fancy mission statements hanging on the walls. We just have a calendar with a lot of deadlines circled in red ink. Delhi can be a tough place to get things done, what with the traffic and the red tape, but we’ve been at it long enough to know the shortcuts. We don't try to sound more important than we are. We're just people who know how to build things and how to manage a crew. Sometimes things go wrong, and we have to spend the whole day fixing a mistake, but that’s just part of the life. We stay grounded and just keep moving forward with the work. We try to keep it simple.
