C & F - Ambuja Cement/Holcim

We are the C & F agents for Ambuja Cement and Holcim in Balasore. Our office is actually at Tripathy Nivas in Sahadevkhunta. Dibakar Tripathy is the one who looks after everything here. It's a busy spot in Orissa. Dealing with cement means a lot of dust and heavy trucks. We have a yard where the bags are kept before they go out to the local builders. 756001 is the pin for this part of Balasore. It’s not a clean or quiet job. We are usually surrounded by workers and drivers. The paperwork is constant because we have to track every single truck that comes in from the plant. Dibakar spends most of his time checking the registers. We don’t have a fancy corporate office. It’s just a practical space in the Sahadevkhunta neighborhood. The weather in Orissa can be quite rainy, which makes handling cement a real challenge. We have to make sure everything stays dry. We’ve been at this address for a long time. People around here know us as the place to get their supply. We don’t do any promotions or big ads. The work is just about logistics and moving product. It’s a lot of physical labor and coordination. We start early in the morning when the first trucks arrive. It’s just a regular, gritty business that keeps the local construction going.
