Ambuja Cements

You can find us over at A-2/79 in the Ambuja Housing Complex in Rawan. This is part of the Raipur district, and it’s a fairly quiet place to work compared to the main city. Our office is basically a flat in the complex, which makes it feel a bit more like a home than a workplace. We have the usual setup with some metal cupboards for the files and a few chairs for when people stop by to discuss orders. Being in the housing complex means we are right in the middle of where a lot of the staff lives, so there is a real sense of community here. We see the same faces every morning at the gate. The work is mostly about keeping track of the cement shipments and making sure the local distribution stays on track. It can get very dusty in this part of the country, especially with the industrial activity nearby, so there is a constant battle to keep the office clean. We don’t have any big corporate meetings or anything like that. Usually, it’s just a few of us sitting around, checking the schedules and making sure the numbers add up. The summer months are tough because of the heat, but we’ve got used to it over the years. It’s a basic, honest way to earn a living, and we just take each day as it comes.
