Tata Motors

If you find yourself in Udgir, you’ll likely end up near Killa Road at some point. Our place is Nelle Shankar Nivas on Shetkar Galli. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze in the lane sometimes, especially if a big truck is passing through, but we make it work. Latur district is a busy place, and Udgir feels like its own little world. We’ve been operating here for a while now. The office is tucked into a residential-looking building, which makes it feel more like a home than a business. We don’t have those bright neon signs. Just a simple board out front. Most of our neighbors are shopkeepers or families we’ve known for years. We spend our mornings sweeping the front and checking the mail. Working with Tata Motors gives us something to do every day, talking to local farmers or businessmen who need a way to get around. We don’t use any scripts when we talk to people. We just use plain English or the local language. Sometimes we run out of tea leaves and someone has to run down the street to the corner store. It’s those little things that make it feel real. We’re just part of the local scenery here in Udgir. The Killa Road area gets noisy during festivals but we just carry on with our paperwork as best as we can. It’s alright and we wouldn't change it.
