Ultratech Cement

Our shop is located right opposite the Barrack in Ulhasnagar. This part of Maharashtra is always bustling and there is never a quiet moment. Between the local trains and the traffic on the street, it’s quite a noisy place to be. We have a steady stream of people coming in because we are in such a central location. The building itself is older, and we’ve had to make some repairs over the years to keep it in good shape. Inside, it’s mostly just stacks of cement and a small wooden desk where we take the orders. The air is often thick with humidity, which makes the bags feel even heavier when we move them. We don’t have many employees, so we all chip in with everything from sweeping to loading the rickshaws. Ulhasnagar has a lot of small construction going on all the time, so there’s always someone needing a few bags for a repair job. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just our sign outside. Most days are long, and we end up pretty tired by the time we pull the shutters down at night. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s a necessary one. We like being part of the local community here and seeing the town grow bit by bit. We just keep our heads down and do the work that is required. It is a bit dusty but it is home.
