Ambuja Cements Ltd.

We are based out in Saripur, which is near Udayapur and falls under the Astaranga area in the Puri district. It’s a bit of a journey to get out here, but this is where we operate. Our office is set up through Pradipta Sethy and Kelu Sethy’s place. It’s a real local operation for Ambuja Cements Ltd. Around here, everyone knows everyone, so we don't need a big sign to tell people where we are. We mostly spend our time talking to the local builders and the families who are putting up new houses in the village. It’s a quiet life compared to the big cities. We deal with the humidity from the coast and the occasional heavy rains that slow everything down. Our workspace is very basic—just the essentials like a desk, some chairs, and our ledger books. We don't use a lot of fancy technology; we prefer to talk face-to-face or over a quick phone call. The pace is a little slower here in the 752109 area, but the work is just as important. We make sure the cement gets to the rural sites on time, even when the roads are muddy. It’s about getting the bags moved to where people are building. We don't have any polished floors or air conditioning that works all the time. We just have our team, our neighbors, and a lot of work to do every single day.
