Ingersoll-Rand (India) Ltd.

We are set up over in the Gidc Estate in Naroda, spanning across units 21 to 30. It’s a fairly large space, which we need for all the equipment and parts we handle. Being in Naroda means we are surrounded by all sorts of factories and workshops. It’s an industrial vibe through and through. At Ingersoll-Rand (India) Ltd., the day starts early. You can hear the sounds of the estate waking up around 8 AM. We have a lot of different sections for different tasks. Some guys are on the floor dealing with the heavy stuff, while others are in the back handling the paperwork. It’s a lot of coordination to keep things from getting messy. We aren't really into the flashy corporate lifestyle; we just focus on the machines and the technical side of things. There’s always some maintenance to do or a part that needs finding. We’ve got a mix of older workers who have seen it all and some younger folks learning the ropes. The canteen is where everyone catches up on news. It’s a busy environment, but we try to keep it organized so nobody gets overwhelmed. The roads in the estate can be a bit rough with all the heavy trucks, but that’s just part of being in an industrial zone. We just keep our heads down and get the work done. It takes effort but we make it work every day.
