Hindustan Zinc Limited (Vedanta Resources Plc.)

We are located in a five-story building at the Zawar Mines, which is about a forty-minute drive from the main parts of Udaipur. Specifically, we are in C-54. The pincode here is 313901. Working at the mines is different from working in a city office. There is a lot of dust and the sound of machinery is never too far away. We are part of Hindustan Zinc Limited under the Vedanta Resources Plc. umbrella. Our building stands out because it is one of the taller ones in the immediate area. Most of us have been coming here for years, and we know every corner of this facility. The work is steady and repetitive, but it’s what keeps the whole operation running. We spend our time in front of monitors or talking to the shift workers who are coming off duty. It isn't a glamorous lifestyle. We eat our lunches together and complain about the commute or the weather. There’s no point in trying to sound like a fancy business when you’re literally surrounded by rocks and heavy equipment. We just make sure the data is entered correctly and the safety protocols are followed. It is honest work and it keeps us occupied from Monday to Saturday. When the day ends, we wait for the buses or get in our cars to head back toward town. It’s a life that revolves around the earth and the metal we pull out of it, which is fine by us.
