Rashmi Metaliks Ltd.(Rashmi Group)

We are located out on Weighbridge Road in Barbil, right in the heart of the Keonjhar district in Orissa. This area is known for all the mining and industrial activity, so we fit right in with the rest of the plants out here. Life in Barbil revolves around the movement of iron and trucks. Our site is always covered in a fine layer of red dust from the local environment, and you can't really escape it. We spend our days managing the weighing of loads and keeping track of the production cycles. It’s a tough place to work because of the heat and the remote nature of the location, but we have a steady crew of locals who know the drill. The road outside can get pretty backed up with ore carriers, making it a bit of a challenge to get anywhere fast. We aren't a corporate office with suits and ties; we are mostly in work boots and heavy-duty shirts. The office itself is functional, mostly there to keep the logs and handle the immediate logistics of the Rashmi Group operations here. We deal with whatever problems come up, whether it’s a broken machine or a delay in transport. It’s a simple life focused on the industrial output of the region. Most of us have been here for years and we don't plan on changing how we do things anytime soon. It is what it is.
