Afcons Infrastructure Ltd, Mumbai

Our place is out in Dalonde, which is near the Dighashi post office in the Bhiwandi area. It’s technically in the Thane district, but we are part of the broader Mumbai operations for the company. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here, but it's where the work is. The office isn't anything you’d see in a magazine. It’s a practical space used for managing the big infrastructure jobs we take on. There is a lot of dust because of all the trucks and machinery moving through the taluka, but we don't mind it much. We have a team that knows this area like the back of their hands. Most of us live in the nearby villages or commute from the outskirts of Mumbai. We spend a lot of time looking at site plans and dealing with the logistics of moving heavy materials around. The weather can be a real pain, especially during the monsoon when the roads get all muddy, but we keep things moving anyway. We aren't big on formalities here. Most of the time, we’re in our work gear ready to head out to a site. It’s a busy environment and there’s always something that needs fixing or checking. We just keep our heads down and focus on the projects. It's a straightforward way of working and it seems to suit us just fine out here in Dalonde.
