Ambuja Cements Limited

This office is down in Mallikpur, in the South 24 Parganas area. Mr. Ruhidas Roy is the person who runs the show here most of the time. It’s a bit of a drive to get out here, but it's a solid place to work. We deal with the cement logistics for the surrounding villages and towns. It’s not a corporate office with glass walls. It’s more of a functional building where we keep our records and talk to the drivers. The local area is pretty green, though the dust from the yard gets on everything. We spend our days checking manifests and making sure the trucks are on schedule. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from morning until evening. We don't spend money on big ads or anything like that. People know we are here because we’ve been around for a while. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just have to wait it out, but that's just life in this part of West Bengal. We try to keep things simple. If a customer has a problem, we talk it through. There’s no script or anything. We just use common sense. It’s a small team, so we all end up doing a bit of everything. From sweeping the floor to handling the big accounts, it all happens right here in Mallikpur. We’re just regular people trying to do a decent job with the cement business every single day.
