Shapoorji Palonji & Co. Ltd.

Our office is situated in Padwalwadi, which is part of the Walwa Taluka in the Sangli district. It is a bit of a journey to get here if you are coming from the main city, but it is a good location for the work Shapoorji Palonji & Co. Ltd. is doing in this part of the state. The building is simple and fits right in with the rest of the village. We don’t have a big neon sign or anything like that. Just the name on a small board near the entrance. Most of us who work here are local or have been staying in Sangli for a long time. We know how the weather gets, especially when the monsoon hits and the roads get a bit muddy. Inside, the office is just a bunch of desks pushed together. We don't have fancy office furniture, just what is necessary to do the job. We spend a lot of time talking to the local contractors and making sure the paperwork is filed correctly with the district office. It is a slow-paced life compared to Mumbai or Pune, but the work is still steady. We take our breaks together and usually talk about the local news or what's happening in the Taluka. It is a practical environment. No one is wearing a suit here. We just wear our work clothes and keep moving through the daily checklist. It’s a decent place to spend the day and we feel like we are part of the local scene here.
