Jayaswals Neco Ltd., Raipur

It might seem a bit confusing because the name says Raipur, but we are actually working out of Cuttack in Orissa. Our spot is in the Potapokhari area, right near Nayabazar. We use Akshaya Kumar Sahoo’s place as our main point of contact here. It’s a bit of a distance from the main hub of the company, but we serve as an important link for the operations in this region. The neighborhood in Cuttack has its own rhythm. It's a bit slower than the big industrial cities in Chhattisgarh, which is sometimes a nice relief. The office itself is quite modest and straightforward. It’s basically just a few rooms where we keep our records and handle the local logistics. We don't have any flashy furniture or high-tech gadgets. It’s mostly just pens, paper, and a couple of old computers that have been through a lot over the years. We deal with a lot of people coming in to talk about transport and deliveries. The weather can be quite damp because we aren't too far from the coast, so we have to be careful about how we store the paperwork so it doesn't get ruined. We aren't here to impress anyone with a fancy office. We are just here to make sure the work gets done and the communication between here and the main office stays clear. It’s a simple way to run things, and it has worked for us for a long time now.
