Kirloskar Brothers Ltd. (Kbl)

Even though Kirloskar Brothers Ltd. is a big name, our corporate office at Yamuna on Survey No 98/3 in Baner feels like a regular workplace once you get inside. Baner has changed so much over the years, going from a quiet area to a crowded part of Pune with traffic jams all the time. Our office building, Yamuna, is where all the planning for our pump and water projects happens. You’ll see people carrying files, heading into meetings, or just sitting at their desks trying to figure out technical problems. We don't go for that overly polished corporate vibe you find in some modern tech companies. It’s more practical here. We deal with pumps and valves and water systems, so there is a lot of engineering talk in the hallways. The canteen is usually where people catch up on news or complain about the commute through Baner. We spend a lot of time looking at project timelines and making sure our various branches have what they need. It’s a busy atmosphere, but it isn't frantic. We’ve been around for a long time, so there’s a sense of routine that keeps everything moving forward. We don't need to use big fancy mission statements to describe our day. We just come in, do the work related to moving water and managing fluids, and then head home through the Pune traffic like everyone else in the neighborhood.
