In Kochi city, where I spent the majority of my employment as a civil engineer, some of the prominent construction companies also dealt in the supply of RMC, with the acquisition of large concrete batching plants. These companies, thus became regular customers to cement companies like Ultratech cement. This is a strategic move by these companies to obtain further loyalty discounts for their need for cement in other construction projects.
How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life so far
Ambitions may come in many shapes and sizes and as a younger person, I entertain many varieties of the same. There are aspirations and hopes that exist in me for developing a work ethic and a sense of balance that I may build my entire life around. As I started my career in Eis Ideal Contructions India Pvt Ltd., I realized that work life in the field was a dynamic creature, always bringing new, surprising challenges to the fore. It wasn’t just about knowing how to build a project and implementing it. Operational challenges, people management, lack of funds allotted all played a major role in the success of a project. Being part of a company that was given a well-defined task in their contract often gave me a sense of having my personal success being tied to the success of the projects of the company. In one instance, after having made deals with each of the local labour unions with the guidance of my project manager, we were faced with the demands of and the threats of violence from an unregistered labour union in a disreputable area that was allotted to us for construction. It was only with police involvement, legal defences and the intervention of the other registered labour unions that we were able to continue with our work in the area at profitable rates. Another example would point to when we were applying for different contract jobs and filling out tenders, which led to many negotiations with clients of high repute. As an employed individual, I sought to satisfy the needs of both my employer and the potential clients, and this was achieved through various innovative methods such as authorized replacement of materials specified.
