Pragati Resorts

If you head out to Shankar Pally and find Proddutur village, that’s where we are. It’s a bit of a trek from the main part of Hyderabad, but it’s much quieter out here. The air is different. We are in the R.R. District, and the pin is 501203. The office is right on the grounds, so we see the trees and the grass every day. It’s a far cry from the concrete and noise of the city. We have staff who come in from the nearby villages. It’s a slower pace of life. Sometimes the internet is slow or the power flickers when there’s a storm, but that’s just part of being out in the rural areas. We don’t wear suits here. It’s more about practical clothes for walking around the property. There’s always something that needs fixing—a leaky tap or a fence that’s come loose. We spend a lot of time outdoors. It’s not a polished corporate environment. You’ll see mud on the floors and tools lying around in the back rooms. We just manage the place and try to keep everything running as well as we can. It’s a lot of work, and the sun can be brutal in the afternoons. We sit under the fans and try to get the paperwork done before the evening mosquitoes come out. It is a long day, but being away from the city makes it worth it.
