L&T GEOSTRUCTURE
Rajaneesh Kumar Rai,
Project Manager – L&T GeoStructure
As Project Manager constructing a Navigational Lock at Farakka, West Bengal, Rajaneesh Kumar Rai had two major issues at hand: the remoteness of his site that is about 300 km from Kolkata and the disorganized nature of his labour force. “We do not have full strength labour camps at site as most of the workmen are from the nearby local villages,” he explains, “and they are all part of two committees (trade union type) with their own rules and systems. Therefore, remobilization of the workforce and trying to convince them to wear masks and maintain social distance was tough but the real challenge was to remove the fear from their minds.”
Rajanessh, however, is no stranger to challenges having earlier worked on the London Underground for 5 years. “I was with Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Limited as a Package Manager,” he shares. “With L&T GeoStructure, I was previously Project Manager at the NTPC Nabinagar Bihar for the ‘CW System and Makeup Water System Civil Works’ for 4 years till 2019.”
As measures to combat COVID-19, “we took serious steps to educate the subcontractors and the manpower suppliers in advance to maintain discipline in their daily meetings, practice social distancing and take other precautionary measures at the workplace. We have severe issues of logistics at the best of times but during the lockdown, sourcing food, medicines and other consumables became extremely difficult.”
The IR Team, meanwhile, established a good PR with all the local administrative authorities taking them into confidence like the local police departments, BDO, the local MLA and political parties who supported the team during the crisis. It is often said that good practices take root during times of crisis and as Rajaneesh shares, “Each department head has taken the initiative to interact daily with their team before start of work and it has become a practice now. We also maintained excellent relationships with the client that has also stood us in good stead,” he smiles.
All their good work bore fruit for Rajaneesh and his team as “mobilization of resources was possible from 20th April itself,” he says with immense satisfaction, “as we were having regular update meetings with the subcontractors, manpower suppliers and equipment suppliers. Concrete was poured in the same week,” he pronounces victoriously.
“My native place is Lilkar, situated on the banks of river Ghaghra in Uttar Pradesh,” he shares. “My wife, Neelu is a homemaker and we have two children, son, Neelabh and daughter, Unnati.” Rajaneesh loves reading books and playing badminton and his best moment was joining dancing throngs on the streets of London after India won the T20 World Cup!
R Ravikumar,
Project Manager – L&T GeoStructure
The focus for a seasoned campaigner like Project Manager, R Ravikumar, during the days of the COVID-19 lockdown was to keep his site – the Sea Water Intake Project for a Super Critical Thermal Power Project in Uppur, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu – primed and ready for a swift and early resumption of operations. “In fact, initially I felt that it would be better for me to be with my family during this crisis but then I thought about the 300 migrants and about 100 local workmen under my supervision at site and decided to stay put at the site.” He pauses and adds, “Staying back at site actually helped us because I was able to continuously follow up with my clients for an early start, received permission to restart on 26th April and started all activities on 27th,” he shares with a sense of achievement.
Ravikumar is on his 6th project at L&T GeoStructure as Project Manager with a long and successful list of projects he has been involved with; a few notable ones being a ground improvement job at the Varsha Inner Harbour in Vizag, at the Polavaram Dam project across the river Godavari to construct a cut off wall jointly with Bauer as JV partner, in RIL, Hazira, a shore protection job, in ONGC, Umrahat, Gujarat to construct a water tight coffer dam and at the Hauz Khaz metro station of 40 m depth in Delhi for DMRC, the deepest of below ground station using Bayagrab.
At the Uppur site, Ravikumar concentrated on keeping his site active for an easy restart. “With my team, I was managing the migrant workmen at the camp that is situated inside our site and I also had to manage the local authorities like the Collector, the Tahsildhar, Police Officials, Labour Commissioners, Health Inspectors, etc.” The team ensured essential commodities for the workmen including free rations, that the camp remained neat and clean with proper sanitization and fumigation and pepped up the workmen with frequent toolbox chats. The situation called for teamwork and Ravikumar acknowledges the stellar role of his team members at site. “They stood with me in all aspects to control the migrants daily, ensure that facilities were provided and controlled the site to avoid any unsafe acts.”
Hailing from Thengapattanam in Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari district, Ravikumar loves watching TV during his free time. His better half is Anitha Ravi, a homemaker, and they are blessed with two children, Kiran A Ravi, a Civil Engineer and Shaini A Ravi, who is doing her 3rd year B. E. in CSE. “A moment I cherish most is when I won the award as the Best Project Manager in 2018 during the Geo-Connect event,” he says with a thumbs up.
C Sidharthan,
Project Manager – L&T GeoStructure
He is a veteran having been a part of over a hundred projects during his three decade-plus tenure with L&T. “I have been involved with project sites in different parts of the country and a few overseas doing geotechnical investigations, drilling & grouting, ground improvements, all kind of foundation works and much more,” shares C Sidharthan, mentioning several of these projects prominent among them being the atomic power plants at Kaiga, Kalpakkam, Kundankulam, international airports of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi and Bangalore, MFFK jetty extension at Kattupalli and Kalinga International Coal Terminal, Paradip. Presently, he is heading the Cut & Cover Section Project of Phase I extension for Chennai Metro Rail Limited at Tondiarpet, Chennai and with Chennai a ‘hot zone’ Sidharthan and his team had their work cut out.
“Our first and foremost challenge was to maintain the decorum, health and safety of the workman force spread across four camps with physical and financial progress of work having stopped due to the global lockdown,” says Sidharthan. “Maintaining their wellbeing and convincing them not to panic and remain at their accommodation at all times were big tasks too.” The team ensured that all PPEs were provided and all precautionary measures taken to keep the workmen healthy with periodic health check-ups, stringent washing protocols, use of masks, practicing social distancing and maintaining hygiene. “We arranged for isolation rooms and the Arogya Setu app was installed by our staff and workmen to complete the self-assessments.”
HQ supported the efforts of Sidharthan and his team in every way possible with motivation, monetary help, arranging for visits and surveillance for the team members as and when required. “Our team of essential services for dewatering & plumbing, electrical & site lighting, watch & guard personnel have stuck to their task throughout and deserve a round of applause,” he remarks.
Sidharthan hails from Salem in Tamil Nadu. His wife is S Tamil Selvi, who he says is engaged in “taking care of my family!” They are blessed with two children, daughter, S Brindha and son, S Gnanajothy. “Oh yes,” he nods, “initially they were worried because of my age and diabetic health condition but now have at least partially accepted that we have to live in this situation for some months more.” He loves to read during his free time and some of his most memorable moments are, “When we did India’s first CFA (Continues Flight Auger) Pile at L&T Rajpura Power Project in 2010 and India’s first Spun Pile at Cinda Project, Baruch in 2012.”
“I am always proud of every aspect of L&T Construction and for being a part of it,” he avers in conclusion.
Tulasi Das Govvada,
Project Manager – L&T GeoStructure
Tulasi Das Govvada is leading the project team at the Paradip Port Trust handling the civil works to construct a 30 MMTPA capacity coal handling export terminal for JSW. “Our structure is at a very critical stage of construction and stopping work would have adversely affected the overall safety of the structure so although the whole country stopped due to the lockdown, we could not afford to stop,” he says. “We continued with the construction works albeit with minimum resources during the lockdown in strict adherence to all the COVID-19 directives and other safety measures.” He and his team kept the fire stoked, as it were, and once the relaxations were announced, his was one of the first projects to resume operations.
Elaborating on his present assignment, he flags off the critical Track hopper construction with the coffer dam structure at 18 m below ground level under testing conditions, adjacent to a road on one side with the backwaters only some 5 m away and an operational railway line on the other. “Constructing in such a scenario calls for utmost safety and high skill technical efficiency,” he shares seriously. “The coffer dam structure is constructed with continuous sheet piling and huge struts (1050 MT) system of 45 m spans installed end to end.” He also mentions the 60 continuous dewatering wells that have been installed around the structure to lower the water table to facilitate construction.
“We only operated essential and critical works deploying the necessary manpower on a rotation basis to monitor the construction,” informs Tulasi Das. “All the employees and workmen adopted hygienic conditions by self-cleaning their own living spaces at their camps and company guest houses apart from completely disinfecting the entire premises.”
While all essential works requirements were informed to client and special permissions obtained for the movement to site locations from the start of the lockdown i.e. 25th March’20, all meetings were conducted through conference calls. “We received full support from our top management,” affirms Tulasi Das. “They were constantly in touch with us on a daily basis through calls, video calls, continuously monitoring the site situation and providing valuable guidance throughout.”
He was involved in an earlier project at the same location for the civil works construction of an iron ore export terminal. “Some of my most memorable moments are connected to L&T,” shares Tulasi Das with a smile, “my first day at the L&T campus and the completion of my first project.” His better half, Vallika, is a BHMS graduate, but presently looking after their 5-year-old daughter, Bhavishya.
In conclusion, he says, “having the opportunity to be in constant touch with such great minds is itself a great honour and I really feel proud to be a part of such an esteemed organization!”
Sreejith Haridas Menon,
Project Manager – L&T GeoStructure
As the Project Manager of pile testing, piling, pile cap and pedestal works for the 1X660 MW Panki Thermal Power Plant at Panki, Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, the responsibilities on Sreejith Haridas Menon’s shoulders are huge made even more burdensome with the outbreak of COVID-19. Faced with increasing challenges at site especially regarding people welfare, Sreejith finds L&T’s approach during the crisis praiseworthy. “I have seen the culture of ‘humanity first’ in my Company, and it makes me feel proud to be a small part of this esteemed organization!” Coming from a person who is executing his first project for the company, these are indeed extremely positive sentiments. Prior to joining L&T GeoStructure, Sreejith was working with M/s IL&FS Transportation Networks Ltd. in the capacity of a Project Manager.
As soon as the virus broke out, Sreejith first armed himself with all the relevant information from reliable sources about the pandemic. “This I shared with my staff and workmen because communication is key during such situations with so much of fake and false information going around,” he stresses. After that, his task was to secure the work force and keep them safe from any infections, “by educating them about the seriousness of the situation and train them to follow a healthy lifestyle. Safeguarding their health was critical so we have organized regular medical check-ups for all the workmen at the workmen’s habitat and keep repeating that they need to take all the necessary precautions.”
There are daily morning meetings with all the team members through MS teams to take stock of the situation and initiate any new actions, if required. “My seniors are always in touch since the day the lockdown began and keep motivating me and my team every day to face this unprecedented situation.”
Sreejith should take heart and much learning from the way his native state of Kerala has handled COVID-19. Hailing from Thakazhy, Alappuzha, his better half is Sunitha, a homemaker and they are blessed with two children, daughter – Sreelakshmi S and son, Sreehari S. “My hobby is reading and yes I do extract time for it,” he shares. “And, without a doubt, the most memorable moment in my life was becoming a father,” he says with a sparkle in his eyes. “I believe that ‘work is worship,’ and my family follows the same principle. They encourage any activity towards my responsibility,” he says with an encouraging smile.
V Balamanikandan,
Construction Manager – Civil, L&T GeoStructure
The most memorable moment in V Balamanikandan’s life was when his wife, Muthu Lakshmi and he, were blessed with triplets. Away from home, during these extremely uncertain times, it is natural for his family to be worried about his welfare. “Fortunately, they have understood the importance of my presence at site with the workmen,” he smiles bravely. “to sustain them, to keep them safe and help them face the uncertainties caused by the outbreak of this pandemic. Now, they are feeling much better, reassured and appreciate my efforts,” he shares.
Presently involved in the construction of balance civil works for the underground Korukkupettai station for Chennai Metro Rail Limited, Phase – I extension, Bala is on his second project with L&T GeoStructure having been earlier associated with the piling works for the construction of the LNG tank terminal at Dhamra as Construction Manager. Like most Corona Warriors like him, the immediate challenge faced by Bala as soon as the virus broke out was “to protect my fellow workers by educating them about the importance of social distancing, wearing of masks, frequent hand sanitation, avoid unwanted gatherings, and, even more importantly, to sustain the migrant workers by making them understand the lockdown, what it meant, how they were to act during these times, educating the workmen about the origin of COVID-19, its symptoms, how to handle if people were affected and isolating the infected persons.”
The Emergency Response Team formed helped to immediately resolve all issues faced by the workmen. “We formed WhatsApp groups to share our ideas, problems and work out quick solutions to issues,” he says. “Apart from WhatsApp, we use the Windows Teams app for discussions, to share updates about the status of the workmen at site and for ‘live’ tracking of the affected areas. Our operations manager and coordinator have also assisted us in all our steps at critical times,” he adds with gratitude.
Hailing from Ambasamudram in Tamil Nadu’s Tirunelveli district, Bala’s triplets are named V B Ilesh, V B Inesh and
V B Iniya sree. His wife, Muthu Lakshmi is a homemaker.
“I like to listen to music and do workouts and yes, I do find time to enjoy both my hobbies,” he shares with a smile.
About L&T and his association with the company, he says, “the announcement of the relief packages to help the workmen (contractual workmen) economically was a great move. I am proud that my company is standing with the nation during these uncertain times by making such a big contribution to the PM Cares Fund. That is why we are builders to the nation!”
Sachin Pankaj Thakkar,
Manager – Planning (L&T GeoStructure)
Sachin Thakkar loves to travel and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, his biggest worry is when can he next travel safely. But far beyond this personal worry, his concern is to keep his colleagues at the Farakka (in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal) project site, where he is presently posted, safe and healthy. “Initially, our focus was to create awareness among the local workmen deployed regarding hygiene and social distancing, motivating everyone at site and ensuring the ready supply of construction materials and consumables. We have introduced a strict ‘No Mask No work’ theory at site and apart from implementing all SOPs, we have even involved our client (Inland Waterway Authority of India) at times to make our workmen and team aware of the situation.”
Sachin has joined L&T after stints with several other organizations and is presently involved in an extremely important nation-building project for IWAI to build a new navigational lock. “The existing lock gate at Farakka is old, inefficient and takes a vessel more than two hours to pass upstream or downstream,” he explains. “With the proposed new lock, a vessel will be able to pass through in just 38 minutes and if it is followed by the movement of another vessel in the opposite direction, the operating time will only be 23 minutes!” He is obviously excited about his project and one of his most satisfying achievements of recent times has been as he shares, “achieving a billing of 10% of the contract value in a single month in March 2020 with the help and guidance of our team!” He adds that the support and cooperation from the team have been great that has helped to seriously implement the various SOPs at site.
Taking advantage of the company’s digital initiatives, Sachin says, “We have requested our client to consider our bills in the digital form rather than the traditional hard copies and we have suggested to them to use digital methods such as video conferences for inspection of materials as physical inspections will be difficult for a while.” Presently, his focus is also on remobilization, starting with administrative approvals and convincing the local workmen to resume work by motivating them.
Sachin shares that one of his joys when he reaches home is seeing his lovely family that includes his wife, Vaishali, a homemaker and his children who are twins – Ved and Vidhi. “Yes, the situation is fluid and reactions change from time to time. To be fair my family, currently settled in Jamnagar, Gujarat, is worried, but they are taking precautions at home so that I can concentrate on my work,” he smiles, a trifle wistfully.
Vivek V Iyer,
Assistant Manager – Planning (L&T GeoStructure)
Vivek Iyer loves to paint during his free time and as the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted normal life across the globe and presents a dull picture, with his efforts Vivek has been successful in bringing some bright colours into the lives of his colleagues at his project site. He is presently involved in the design and construction of a Composite Gravity Dam on River Runj at Panna, Madhya Pradesh and is executing his first project for L&T GeoStructure. “Previously I was associated with M/s ITD Cementation India Limited holding the position of Asst. Manager – Planning and I have eight and half years’ experience in thermal power projects, dam rehabilitation and dam construction.”
As the pandemic broke out, the first and challenging part for Vivek and his team was to keep the labour force intact, calm, and energised. “Our second challenge was to keep our essential services working amidst the scare of the COVID-19 spread.”
All aspects of achieving these goals were taken care of – good housekeeping, constant sanitization and fumigation of all premises, regular health check- ups, awareness communication, regular pep talks and ensuring the use of all the prescribed PPEs. “Under the strong leadership of our Project Manager, Sarasindu Datta and the Site Administration team of P R Mohanty and Kunal Kumar, we worked for the welfare of our workmen,” shares Vivek.
Perhaps a matter of great pride for Vivek and his team was that when the sanctions were relaxed by the government in mid-April, the Runj project team was ready to hit the board running and were able to resume operations on 25th April, post clearances from the government strictly following all the SOPs and guidelines laid down by the authorities. “We were so energized to begin work that we were able to complete a lot of work as we start the process of catching up on lost time,” mentions Vivek.
Still single, Vivek recalls his trip to Goa with pleasure and shares that initially his family was worried for him. “It is only natural for them to be concerned about my wellbeing and safety but knowing that we were working towards keeping our colleagues and subordinates safe has put them at ease,” he smiles.
“The company’s vision towards helping the nation in this situation and the initiatives taken by the Management to implement various welfare and safety measures makes me proud of being a part of this organization,” he signs off.
Nikhil Pasari,
Assistant Manager – Planning (L&T GeoStructure)
“In difficult times, it is very important to be in contact with people,” advises Nikhil Pasari. “We, at our site (L&T GeoStructure’s JSW EQ Coal terminal Project at Paradip, Odisha), have ensured that we keep in touch with all our workmen and staff as frequently as possible so that no one panics and that there is a sense of unity and safety among all.” Nikhil and his team paid several visits to the workmen camps to guide, advice and counsel them. “As a matter of fact, by motivating them, I kept myself motivated,” says this Corona Warrior with a smile, “and made sure that I did my best to provide comfort and motivation to all my colleagues.”
Nikhil has been with L&T since 2014 across a wide range of projects and prides his association with L&T. “One of my most memorable moments was being selected by L&T through campus selection and our first day at the Manapakkam campus when we interacted with all the Heads was quite memorable,” enthusiastically recalling his first days. “Thereafter, getting an opportunity to lead the onsite Planning dept in just my second year, at the Unity Group Project in Delhi and subsequently, to lead two more prestigious projects for JSW – IOET & EQ projects at Paradip have been a remarkable experience. I am really grateful to my seniors for entrusting me with these opportunities.”
At site, in the wake of the COVID-19 threat, “our main challenge was to convince and reassure our workmen that all their requirements will be met and that we would look after them. Of course, we also wanted them to stay and return to work. Workmen mobilization is a bigger challenge that we are facing now,” he points out, “as we resume operations. We are looking at alternate options to engage the local workmen from the safe areas nearby.”
Still unmarried and a native of Guwahati, Assam, Nikhil has several hobbies that he finds the time for – dancing, travelling, exploring new places, gaming, watching movies and series. “I plan at least one trip a year,” he quips.
Returning to his favourite topic, L&T, Nikhil holds forth. “L&T has given me a lot. I have learned a lot, have developed self-belief and confidence due to the opportunities the organization has given me. There are many wonderful things about L&T which makes it the best in the industry but if I was to talk about one aspect then it has to be the freedom that it allows us to express our views and take decisions at work. I have been really fortunate to have had the opportunity to work under and with some great people and have learned a lot from all of them,” he signs off in style.
M Adarssh,
Senior Engineer – Execution (L&T GeoStructure)
A Sr. Engineer, M Adarssh is in his second year at L&T GeoStructure and shows all the vigour and exuberance of a 2-year-old. “I love being at site,” he declares delightedly. “I plan my day to day activities and allocate resources to get the work done. Since my arrival till date, I have been well supported by our PM, DPM, CM and my colleagues who are all kind enough to listen to my ideas. The past six months bore fruit and I was able to manage the workforce and even develop a good rapport with my client!” Presently he is involved in the construction of balance works of the Cut & Cover section – Phase I Extension for Chennai Metro Rail Limited at Tondiyarpet, Chennai. “After my absorption as a GET, I worked at CMRL- Central Square Project, at the steel yard and was in-charge of making D-Wall cages after which I have been transferred here to the Cut & Cover project as an Execution Engineer.”
“The TN government’s initiative to start various businesses is a welcome move as we have to quickly adapt to the ‘new normal’,” he says with gusto. “Chennai is a hotspot and therefore getting our workmen to site for work was a Herculean task. They were confused, scared and some wanted to leave but the team led by our PM advised them not to travel during this period as it was not safe for them.” Right through the days of the lockdown, Adarssh has kept regular contact with his workmen because, as he shares with a smile, “nothing transcends love and care! I used to go to our site just to ensure that everything was normal. I used to check the P&M machineries, and other equipment,” he adds.
A native of Tirur in Kerala, Adarssh is part of a family of four. “At home, there is my father, Muralidharan K C, mother, Thankam and a younger sister, Avanikka who is preparing for her final CA exams. Yes, they are worried for me but happy and honoured too.” Unmarried, Adarssh has several hobbies – watching movies, singing and cricket. “Family trips to Kulu Manali, Delhi, Rameshwaram and the emotional return of CSK to win IPL 2018 are some of my best moments!”
“I am proud to be part of a company that is supporting our great nation during these tough times,” he says, “after all, we are builders to the nation. I am also proud to have contributed my part to the country through my company,” he says with obvious satisfaction.
Raguwaran Devarajan,
Engineer – P&M (L&T GeoStructure)
“As soon at the pandemic broke out, there was panic amongst the workmen,” observes Raghuwaran Devarajan, “and since our project is situated in Chennai and the city was declared a hot zone, the workmen got even more scared and agitated. It was important for us to act quickly right at the very beginning to make them understand the true situation and calm them. We acted decisively and perhaps that is why we were successful in engaging with and controlling them.”
Presently involved in the construction of Balance Civil Works for Underground section of the Korukkupet station CMRL PH1 Extension Project in Chennai, Raguwaran has been involved with L&T GeoStructure for a clutch of other projects since joining L&T in 2013 as a DET. “My first job was the pilling works for BPCL tank in Cochin, Kerala, then I was Site Engineer for the bridge construction works for Dankuni to Chandanagar project, in Kolkata after which I was at the precast and pile cap extension works at the IOCL project in Chennai again as Site Engineer. I was then posted to Andhra Pradesh for the driven piling works for the APTIDCO housing project as Section In charge and then to Dhamra, Odisha again as Section In charge for the piling works for the Dhamra LNG terminal tank foundation before returning to Chennai for the CMRL job,” he completes tracing his career path.
As the pandemic broke out, his immediate challenge at site was to protect his fellow workers by educating them about the need and benefits of social distancing, wearing masks and frequently sanitizing their hands. “It was critical to sustain the migrant workmen during the lockdown and to understand their needs and be one with them during these troubled times,” shares Raguwaran. “We conducted awareness programmes, gave pep talks and overall kept them engaged with a lot of internal support,” he adds. “Our project manager and staff assisted us all through during this critical time and all my team members were willing to help with no regard to time or their own comfort. It was great teamwork,” he nods his head.
Still single, Raguwaran hails from Athanur, Rasipuram, Namakkal and says that his family at home understood the importance of his presence at site. “They appreciated that I was working with our workmen at site to sustain and keep them safe,” he says with feeling. He loves playing chess, cooking and listening to music during his free time and his most memorable day was the 25th of June 2013 when he joined L&T!
Vibin Mathew,
Junior Engineer – EHS, L&T GeoStructure
As the world fights COVID-19, perhaps the most stressed people have been the global medical fraternity who have been at the front-line healing, tending and helping patients and, in the process, putting themselves in grave risk of infection. For Vibin Mathew, this fight is very close to his home, as his wife is a staff nurse and while she looks after her patients, Vibin is busy working to safeguard the health and safety of his 1,000-odd workmen and colleagues at L&T GeoStructure’s Cut & Cover project for Chennai Metro Rail Limited. “Our main challenge at site was to convince the workmen the benefits of social distancing, work hygiene and the use of PPEs for their own safety and for the safety of all around,” says Vibin, defining his task.
Vibin is onto his 3rd project at L&T after having been involved with the TADA Six Lining Road Project in Chennai and the L&T – SUCG Joint Venture, metro tunnelling project again in Chennai. The pressure on Vibin and team to keep people safe was tougher since Chennai was declared a ‘hot zone’ with a steady increase in the number of positive cases.
“We ensured that all the SOPs and COVID-19 guidelines were explained to the workmen, all the PPEs were distributed to them, awareness posters placed, awareness sessions regularly conducted, training to practice social distancing given and the premises regularly sanitized and fumigated.” While visitors were not allowed into the site, there was a strict ban on the use of gutkha and pan masala. “We also arranged to provide Kabasura Kudineer to all the workmen and staff both at the site and labour colony to bolster their immunity levels,” he shares. “We carried out all these activities like a team and perhaps that is why we have been so successful in our efforts,” says Vibin saluting the merits of teamwork.
Hailing for Kerala, Vibin’s wife, Nancy, is the staff nurse we referred to earlier and they are blessed with a son, Jerome. Speaking of his wife, he says, “She has been a source of great support and guidance all the time and it has been so useful as I have led our team in our fight against COVID-19 at site,” says a grateful Vibin.
Vibin’s hobbies are listening to music and bodybuilding and he recalls his first salary cheque as his most memorable moment.
“I am very happy with L&T because the company has given a lot of support and arranged for all facilities during these times of COVID-19,” he says earnestly.
