Anchor Daewoo Industries Ltd.

We are out here in Ranjangaon, which is a bit of a drive from Pune city if you are coming from the main center. Plot B-3 is where you will find our gate. It is a big industrial area, so it is mostly factories and heavy trucks moving around from morning until night. Anchor Daewoo Industries Ltd. has been operating from this MIDC zone for quite some time now. The commute can be a bit much with the traffic on the highway, especially when the monsoon rains start. Inside the building, it is mostly the sound of machines and people talking over the noise of the floor. We have a lot of space here, but it fills up fast with parts. It is definitely not a quiet office environment. There is always someone moving a pallet or checking a machine setting. Most of us have been working here for many years. We know the security guards at the gate by their first names. Lunch is usually a quick affair in the small breakroom. Sometimes we order something special if it is someone’s birthday or a holiday. The power goes out once in a while, but the backup generators usually kick in fast enough. It is heavy work, and there is nothing really glamorous about it. We just make sure the production stays on some kind of schedule. We start early in the morning before the heat gets too bad.
