Indian Navy Modgoi

This is the office of the Deputy Manager for Sax at the Naval Dockyard in Visakhapatnam. We work under Ltcdr Sandeep Joshi. If you’ve ever been to the dockyard, you know it’s a massive place with a lot going on. There’s constant noise from the ships and the heavy machinery. It’s a very busy environment. We’re tucked away in our section, trying to keep the management side of things on track. Visakhapatnam is a beautiful city, but when you’re inside the dockyard, it’s all business. Our office isn't very large, and it’s usually filled with the sound of typing or people talking about logistics. We handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps the Indian Navy Modgoi operations moving forward. It’s not always easy, especially when there’s a tight deadline or a ship coming in for maintenance. We drink a lot of chai to keep ourselves going throughout the day. The humidity can be tough, especially in the summer months, but we have some fans going all day long. You get used to the smell of the sea and the grease after a while. It’s a hard-working atmosphere. We don’t have time for anything fancy or decorative. The focus is just on the tasks at hand. Every day is a bit different depending on what the navy needs from us. We’ve been at this location for some time now and know the routines of the yard like the back of our hands.
