Hindustan Zinc Ltd.

We are down on the ground floor at Gf-7 in Zinc Nagar, Chittorgarh. Being on the ground floor means we get a lot of dust coming in from the road, but it also makes it easy for people to just pop their heads in and say hello. We are a small part of the Hindustan Zinc Ltd. network. Our space is pretty cramped because we have stored so many old ledgers and equipment parts over the years. It’s not the kind of place you’d find in a magazine. The chairs are a bit creaky, and the walls have some scuff marks from moving boxes around. We spend our hours tracking shipments and making sure the local staff have what they need. There’s a tea stall just a short walk away that we frequent when the afternoon slump hits. The work isn't always exciting, but it’s steady and it pays the bills. We don't have any polished mission statements on the walls, just a calendar and some safety posters that have faded over time. It’s a practical environment for practical people. Most of us have lived in Rajasthan our whole lives, so we are used to the pace of things here. We just get on with it, filing the papers and answering the phones until it’s time to lock up and head out. It’s just a normal job in a normal town with a lot of dust.
