Acc Imited

You can find us over at Quarter No. B-202 in Sector-20 of Rourkela. This is in Orissa, pin 769005. The company name on the paperwork is Acc Imited, which is how everyone knows the cement works around here. Rourkela is a town built on industry, and Sector-20 is a pretty standard place to live if you’re part of the workforce. It’s not a luxury apartment. It’s a solid, practical quarter where we stay. Living in a place like this means your life is pretty much set by the rhythm of the plant. We don't have any fancy mission statements. We just show up and do what is required for the day. The weather in Orissa can get quite humid, so the fans are always running in B-202. We’ve got neighbors who have been here for twenty years and some who just started last week. It’s a mix of old and new. We aren't interested in sounding like a big polished corporation. We are just people who work in cement and live in the company housing. Sometimes the pipes creak and the stairs are a bit steep, but it’s home. We handle the paperwork and the daily tasks without making a big fuss about it. It is just a regular life in a regular industrial town, and we’re fine with that. It’s quiet enough at night, usually, once the main shift changes are over and the town settles down.
