Essel Mining & Industries Ltd.(A Aditya Birla Group Company)

This is Essel Mining & Industries Ltd., which is an Aditya Birla Group company. If you are trying to find us, we are located via Joda at Jilling, near P.O. Jajang in the Keonjhar district of Orissa. Sukanta Kumar Dash is the name on a lot of our stuff here. It is a big mining operation, probably one of the bigger ones you’ll see if you drive through this part of India. The roads can be a bit rough sometimes, especially with all the trucks moving back and forth, but that is just part of living and working in a mining hub. We don't really have any fancy brochures or anything like that. We just have a lot of dirt and a lot of work to do every single day. The guys start early and stay late. It’s a routine we’ve had for a long time now. Orissa is known for this kind of work, and we are right in the middle of it. The site is a busy place, always something moving or someone fixing a machine. We aren't here to make a big show of things. We just do the job that needs to be done. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know. Most of the people around Joda or Jilling have some connection to what we do here. It’s just a normal part of life in Keonjhar.
