Ultratech Cement Limited

Down here in Hirmi, which is part of the Simga tehsil in Raipur, things are pretty steady. Our cement works have been a part of this landscape for quite some time now. You can find us easily enough in Chhattisgarh. The environment here is very industrial, as you might expect from a place that produces cement day in and day out. W.V. Ramamurthy and the rest of the team are usually around, making sure the operations don't hit any snags. It is a long way from the big city lights, and the roads leading here can be a bit rough depending on the season. We have a lot of local folks from the Raipur district working with us. The work is physically demanding and the hours can be long, especially when we have big quotas to meet. We don't spend much time on fancy office decor. Instead, we focus on the machinery and the bags being filled. It is a noisy place, filled with the sound of grinders and engines, but it is a sound we have grown fond of over the years. We take our tea breaks together and talk about the weather or the local news. There is a sense of being part of something bigger, even if the daily tasks are quite routine. We just keep the gears turning and make sure the cement is ready for whoever needs it at the end of the day.
