Mott Macdonald

Our location is over in Machalpur within the Rajgarh district of Madhya Pradesh. The address is Rakesh Rai, which is how most locals find us. Being in this part of MP means things move a bit slower than in the big metros. We are pinned at 465693, and the surrounding area is mostly dusty roads and small shops. The office for Mott Macdonald here isn't something you'd find in a brochure. It’s a simple building that stays cool enough in the summer if we keep the fans going. We deal with a lot of dust coming in from the road, so we are always dusting off our keyboards before we start work. The people around Machalpur are friendly, and we often stop to talk to the neighbors about the local news or the weather. It’s a very practical environment. We don't have big meetings with fancy slides; we just talk over things at the main table. Getting parts or supplies can take a few days because we are a bit far out. You learn to plan ahead when you work here. The power can be a bit spotty, especially during the rains, so we have a backup generator that we use. It is just a small team of us working in a quiet corner of Rajgarh. It's honest work and a decent place to spend the day for everyone involved in the daily grind.
