Simplex Infrastructures Ltd., Lokhra, Guwahati

We are based at House Number 32 in C.D.A. Colony, which is over in North Shastrinagar. Most people here know Mr. Shiv Prasad’s house. It’s where Simplex Infrastructures Ltd. runs things locally, even though we deal with projects in Lokhra, Guwahati too. It gets busy here during the day with people coming in and out to check on plans or just talk about the next steps for a job. The neighborhood in Patna is usually pretty quiet, mostly families living their lives, but our office stays active. We’ve been at this spot for a while now. It’s not a fancy office building with glass walls or anything. It’s just a regular house turned into a workspace. You can see the files stacked up on the desks and hear the fans running when it’s hot outside. Sometimes the traffic on the main road makes it hard to get in, but once you’re inside the colony, it’s easier. We handle a lot of the paperwork for the infrastructure side of things from this room. It’s a lot of coordination between here and the sites in Guwahati. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the maps take over the whole table. People stop by to ask questions about the roads or the buildings we are working on. We just try to get the work done right and move on to the next task. It is a plain way of working, really. We just keep our heads down and do the daily business. It feels right.
