The world's largest office We have talked about the largest
building - Burj Khalifa and all. But do you know where
the world's largest office is? It is in our country. In India, The world's largest
office building was made. Our Prime Minister has
recently opened that building. We have heard about Tidal Park, Ramanujam IT Park
and Chennai 1 in Chennai. In that one particular
largest building, There are 4200 offices. At the same time, Almost 70,000 people can
sit and work in the offices. 1lakh peo
ple can be
accommodated in that building. Why was such a big
office built in India? For many decades, the Pentagon
is the world's largest building. This largest building of office
broke the record of the Pentagon. Many of us forget our office
after reacing home for Pongal. In this time of
returning to the office, I'm going to share with you about
the world's largest office in India. Before that, if you haven't
subscribed to the Madan Gowri channel, Please do so. With that, I can reach you with
a
great and interesting content. And YouTube can know that you're
liking the contents of Madan Gowri. And, your subscription motivates me to make great
content for you. Let's get started. Hello everyone, I'm Madan Gowri, And hello my dear MG Squad. First of all, I'll tell you
where this building is. This is India's Gujarat. What else is going to happen? Everything from the bullet
train is happening in Gujarat. Similarly, this office
is also in Gujarat. In 2015, this building
construction was comm
enced. When we say Gujarat, we think of
Ahmedabad for any new introduction. No, this office is in Surat. On one hand, we think of every
improvement is happening in Gujarat. But on the other
hand, instead of Ahmedabad being the
monopoly like Chennai. On one side, it is happy for
Surat has the largest office. Anyway, the biggest office in
the world is in a city called Surat. In 2015, this office's
construction was started. 6,000 people have
continuously worked here. There was a 2-year
break during
COVID. Finally, the office
opened in 2023. So, even if we leave
the COVID for 2 years, 6,000 people have built
this building in 6 years. What is the cost
of this building? If 6,000 people have to
build this building in 6 years, think about the
cost of that building. Many Crores!! Thousands of crores. This building was constructed
with the cost of 3200 cr. The name of this building
is Surat Diamond Bourse. Diamond Bourse is
for diamond traders. This place is the
largest in the world. The SDB was
built for the
diamond producers and traders. This building has one
and only the world's diamond mall. This SDB building, Surat Diamond Bourse was built for
the diamond commerce. 90% of the diamonds in the world are cut and shaped
in the city of Surat. But, the Diamond market is
spread out through the city of Surat. For example, Chennai is
India's manufacturing hub. Chennai is also known
as Detroit of Asia. There are many car
factories in Chennai. But, the car factories
are spread across Thiruva
nmayur,
Ambattur and Chengalpet. Instead, if Government
want to build a building where all the car factories
are in the same building. It is easy to get in
and out of the factory. It is easy to talk to
other companies. So, in Surat, many
small businesses are compiled together
in a single building. This building is
worth Rs. 3200 crores. It has been in
construction for 6 years. The construction
plan is for 8 years. But, there are 2 years
gap in the COVID-19. To compare the
size of this building i
s Before this SDB, the Pentagon
was the largest building. We all know about Tidal Park. Tidal Park is the famous
building in Chennai. In this SDB, Surat
Diamond Bourse, 6 Tidal Parks could be built. SDB is a huge building. I'm going to tell you
about this SDB building. I am going to tell you The 16 features
of this building. Before I tell you what is
there in this building, let me tell you a small thing. The building was built by, How is the bone of a fish? The skeleton is
connected in a long wa
y. The ribs are
connected to the sides. The fish's skeleton is the
basic concept of this building. There will long
building in the middle. The tower is connected
in a long way in the sides. Why is it like this? This building was
built for sunlight. The highlight of this building is
the low electricity consumption. 70,000 people can
use the sunlight. There is enough space for
everyone to sit near the window and there is an office in
every corner of the building. Both sides have
wings and there is
a central connecting
system(building) in the middle. The building is for the, For diamond traders, diamond
makers, diamond shapers, diamond exporters and importers,
imagine how much security there is when 90% of the world's
diamonds market in this building. Let me tell you what
is inside this building. First thing, 4200 offices are
going to be inside this building. 4200 offices. Secondly, the size of
this building is 35 acres. This office building
is built for 35 acres. There are 9 towers in to
tal and
each tower has a height of 15 floors. There are 9 towers in total and each tower has a
height of 15 floors. Fifthly, the length of the
corridor is 22 kilometres. The corridor goes inside the offices in the building
for 22 kilometres. For the people who can't
walk or for the old people, There are many battery
cars for transportation. Even if you have to go from one
office to another in the same building, The battery car will help you. The 6ᵗʰ thing is, I have said that this building
is fo
r the diamond market, There is a direct connection
between this office and the Surat International
airport terminal. Generally, when we
book a flight or a train, it is a headache for us to
catch the train and flight. This SDB building has a direct
connection to the airport from the office. When diamond
traders fly to Surat, The traders don't
have to pay any tax. They can directly walk
to the office because there is such a
connection established. Which is absolutely crazy. Imagine how many govern
ment
permissions are required for this. The permissions from
Airport Authority of India, Gujarat Government,
Security Systems are provided. The office is a private entity. It is a big deal that they
have all these permissions. Seventhly, there
is a total of 131 lifts. The lifts are very large. Each lift is in the
size of a room. A lift can go up to 3
meters in a second. If it is 3 meters in a second, it will take 2-3 seconds to
go from one floor to another. That's it. High-speed 131 lifts
are in
stalled in this office. It is installed in
the entire building. There are a total of 9 gardens. There is a garden in
the middle of the tower. There are huge gardens. There are a lot of leisure
activities in this garden. Of course, we have seen this leisure activities
in a lot of IT parks. There is a fountain. There are a lot of lover spots. There are a lot of friend spots. There are many gathering
spots in the office. Ninthly, there is
parking for two levels. If 70,000 people want to come
inside
, how many cars and two wheelers will come? The office's parking spot
accommodates everything. There is parking for two
levels below the ground. How many cars can be parked? Can you guess it??? You can park 4,500 cars. 4500 is a very small number in
comparison to the 70K employees. But there are 10,000 bikes. If there are 10,000 bikes
and 4,500 cars in one place, It sounds crazy. But in an office with 70,000
people, there is a parking facility for 14,000 people. The rest of the people have to
re
ly on public transport and the metro. Next is the absolutely
mind-blowing thing. Custom Clearance
is inside the office. Is it good, right? Diamond merchants buy
diamonds from abroad. Custom officers
play an important role in the import and
export of diamonds. Mom would have told you
to buy gold from abroad. Or you would have tried to
buy gold when you reach abroad. And the customs officers
will catch us in the airport, right? This is a big
job in the airport. As the office is connecting with
the
Surat International Airport, Customs officers are
appointed at any point in the office while
reaching the Airport. 10 customs people have to
look at the diamond customs clearance and send it. A bunch of customs officers are
sitting inside the office for one building. I will tell you what else is
there in this building, But, custom clearance is a
big surprise to have in this office. I spoke rhymingly. Custom officers are in this
building for import and export. At this time, I would like to tell
you another interesting thing. Generally, the biggest
hub of diamonds is Surat. But as I said, diamond merchants
have spread out throughout the city. What they are doing is, Mumbai is located at 200
kms away from Surat. It is India's financial capital. So, the diamond
merchants take a train journey for 4 hours
or a flight for 1 hour. There is another building in Mumbai
called Bharat Diamond Bourse. In this building, the
diamond business is done. However, there is insufficient
space in that BDB.
People's entry is very small. This SDB is the competition
for the Mumbai's buildings. The biggest problem is,
even if Surat gets customs clearance, even if it is
an international airport, From Surat airport,
flights to Dubai are available. The next big problem is, that SBS want to create
international flights all over the world. Because, as I said before,
after diamond merchants cut the diamond, it will be sold
in Mumbai from Surat. Then, the Diamonds will go to
foreign countries by flight or sh
ip. To counter Bombay's
diamond building, a large building was
constructed in Surat too. All the people in Gujarat want
to go by flight from Gujarat. Only Dubai has connectivity now. But their expectation is, 170 countries
are coming to Surat to buy diamonds. They are already coming. If we connect all these
directly to the international airport, directly to this
building, if a person from Japan comes to buy a diamond,
without going anywhere in India, He can come directly to Surat,
without going
anywhere in Surat, leaving the airport, directly to the office, there is a
diamond mall there, what to buy there, they are not just
people who come for jewellery, they are rich people,
diamond merchants are there. After buying a diamond pack,
He catches the next flight and leaves. They have a private jet. Like that, to create a system,
SDB created these customs. customs, inside the building. Crazy, right? Imports and Exports deal will be
taken place in that building itself. This is literally a c
ompetition
between Maharashtra and Gujarat. Anyway, the twelfth thing is, inside this building, when
we say that there are customs, we don't expect
much more than that. But still, there are shops,
we all would have guessed. Normally, there are
restaurants in IT companies, So that is not a big deal. I'm getting excited for
the presence of Banks. So, inside this building itself,
they have kept so many banks. So, again, when we say
diamond, there will be a lot of cash deposit, there will be a
lot o
f cash withdrawals, diamond has to be kept
in a locker, for all that, A lot of banks have kept their
branches inside the building. And next, the thirteenth
thing is, you would have expected all
the thing that I said. It is not a big surprise. It should be more surprising
than customs, right? Inside this building, there
are a lot of 5-star hotels. 5-star hotels have been
created inside the office. You would not
have heard of this. This is not even
in the Pentagon. So, inside this SDB
building in
Surat, A lot of 5-star
hotels were built. The 14th thing, The craziest thing
which is not even in Dubai. A specific mall for Diamonds. In this place, people who
want to buy diamonds, directly, jewellery, people like you
and me, if you want to buy diamonds, you can go to this mall
and buy diamonds for a low price. So, I don't know
if it is a low price, Because the Diamond
does come from the factory. The transportation
cost, the middleman, In any factory and in any
product, if there is no middlema
n, The price will be low. So, in this office,
World's first diamond mall, is going to be
inside the building. In that, retail people,
people like us, B2C, people who
come to the customer, We can buy diamonds there. The next thing is, the
fifteenth thing is, that this was absolutely crazy to hear, in
the daytime, no need to use lights, internal lights, as much
as possible, how they have figured out the window, I have said that
it is like a fin, I have said that
in the beginning. So, in the daytim
e, as much
as possible, sunlight is enough. No need to use extra lights. So, there is a lot
of electricity cost. In the whole office, when it
is called the world's largest, how many kilowatts
electricity is left, think about it. The next, In the SDB building, a new
AC method was introduced. Water cooling technology, they
are saying something like this. Water will run on the roof,
it will run on the floor, Water will cool the
building to some extent, they are saying
some new concepts. What is the
highlight
in this building is, Let it be the design,
let it be running water, Let it be doing
the lift fast, after that, they have used
a lot of IOT in this. A lot of this has been done
by the start-ups in Gujarat. It is a bit surprising. And, the highest, biggest
thing is, the 16th point, and the video is going to end with that. Generally, such a big office, I have also worked
in an IT company. What is the biggest
headache in being here, Even if you clear
all the traffic, Traffic is bad in Ban
galore
compared to Chennai. Mumbai is even worse. Even if we parked our bikes in
the office after the huge traffic, The time and distance between
our parking area to the cabin, It is a terrible
time to be here. Because, as you can see,
people are coming from all the companies, due to traffic, I mean, if there is a lift
inside, there will be a lot of competition, if there is
no lift, we will have to walk. So, there is a
lot of headaches. To reach the cabin
from the parking spot, it will be a soli
d half an hour. We would have come to the
office in time, but it will take an extra half an hour and we will be scolded
by the manager. This concept, they have
thought about it during the construction, what the architects
have done, they have given a challenge. In fact, the SDB have
solved a problem. This problem. The time to go from the
gate to the seat, in this office, whichever seat it is, if the employee
enter the gate, they can go and sit there in 7
minutes, by walking. The SDB say they hav
e
constructed the building in that way. It was very crazy for me. In the world's largest office,
if we can go and sit in the seat in 7 minutes, and if
we can do the construction in that way, and if we can
create the lift path in that way, then, how many minutes
should we sit in our office? But think about the late
that we are having in the IT companies in Chennai,
Bangalore, in Hyderabad. Anyway, when I
saw this whole video, one thing was very
surprising to me. In the old days, we
are overwhelme
d by the infrastructures
in Chennai. Now, others are fastling us. In fact, they are ahead of us. I took a list. In India, when we look
at the world's largest office buildings, 50
buildings results came. sorry, when I look at the world's
largest buildings, there are 50 results. At the top of the list is the
SBD, this largest building. Hyderabad holds
the 3 or 4th position. Then, one is in Mumbai. Then, that's it. Chennai is not on the list. Just like our tidal park, SDB
managements are saying tha
t 6 tidal parks can be placed in
this one SBD building, Surat. So, the point I am trying to
make is, not just saying that there was development at
one time, but the next bunch of development, like this, everyone
is competing as if they have seen it. They say that this is
the world's biggest office. They say that this is the
world's biggest statue. Everyone is competing
with the world. If we stop competing with
the neighbouring states and start thinking globally,
I feel that we can do a lot of th
ings globally. That's my personal opinion. I will leave it here. Because this video is absolutely
about office development. That's why I thought it would
be relevant if I talk about it here. And, this SDB building, SDB's goal is to earn as
much as possible for a year. And, they are expecting a Billion
dollars of business to happen here. But, there is a big
flaw in this building. The Prime Minister has
opened such a big office. But, in the end, from Mumbai,
as I have already said, there is a big
company in Mumbai,
sorry, there is a big building, Bharat Diamond Bourse, something, whatever, I
think it's a German name. Even Gujaratis are
hesitating to leave the Bombay's building in terms
of Diamond Commerce. The Gujaratis are
waiting for the introduction of metro and
International airport. Let's wait and see
how this building goes. They will make it go. There will be a develop
in Infrastructure for the SDB and bring
the people to SDB. We also have a lot to
do for our Tamilnadu. If we don't
bring the next
building to Chennai, it would be good if we bring it to Coimbatore,
Trichy, Madurai, Tirunelveli. Yeah. And, at the end of the video, I will tell
you a natural fact. Let me tell you that. There are Bio
luminescent waves. We can see this bioluminescence
in Malaysia and America. But, it's home in Chennai. It is a bio-luminescent,
Phyto-plankton which is a type
of microorganism. Phytoplankton is more in seawater. So, sometimes, in the years,
whenever the waves hit the shore at night
, the phytoplanktons
change the colour of the water. Literally, the water will be
glowing in the colour of Blue. This happened in Marina
and Besan Nagar beach. Chennai is the home for
this bioluminescence in the ocean. Many people travel around the
world to see this natural luminescence. But, this incident occur
more in our Chennai. Many people
aren't aware of this. But, the problem is that the
bioluminescence will be good. It is a fact that there will
be low level of oxygen in the area where th
ere
is Bioluminescence. It's been 4 years after the occurrence of this event at a major level. We don't see it much after
that which is a good thing. But bioluminescence means
that the oxygen level should be low. Only then will the
organisms come that way. So, there is good and bad. I will see you in
another video tomorrow. If any of your friends want to
have an office like this SDB, And if your friends are very informative
about the office and its culture. Share this video with them. Likewise,
Ask your friend whether he
would work on this SDB office?? Comment your office's
uniqueness compared to the SDB. I used to ask you to share the
video in family and friends groups. Share this video
in your office group. It will be fun. Love you all.
Take care. Bye. Cheers, MGs.

Watching right from Surat, Gujarat ❤🇮🇳 Tamilian 🔥✨🌝
3200 Crores is still less than Chennai Drainage’s 4000 crores
Wish koovam river is as clean as Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad ,Gujarat. I have visited Ahmedabad and kutch for new year vacation. Ahmedabad is so good to explore. Next time should visit vadodara for Patel's statue
Gujarat is has decentralised development unlike Tamilnadu.. They have order of developed cities like Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot But in TN, the difference between 1st largest city Chennai is very bigger than the second largest city Coimbatore
Fun fact: Tamilnadu's Magalir urimai thogai(1000rs) expenditure per month is 1100 crores approx.. if we redirect that much money then, TN also can build like 4 SDB buildings per year itself
Proud to work as an Architect at Morphogenesis, the architects who built this Marvel !
🤗Great topic.Diamond office. I have known about this for a long time. Amazing, you explain so clearly. That office shape is like a nice fishbone🐟.😇
1:57 capital of Gujarat is Gandhi Nagar. Yeah, Ahemdabad and Gandhi Nagar are twin cities
Always a fan of MG anna 💥💥💥
I feel happy for gujarat..we can create this great infrastructure with 3200 crores..but its hitting hard when we realise that we still dont know how the 4000 crore have been invested !😢
Myself an Indian tamil, watching this video from kilinochi, Sri Lanka🇱🇰.
Mmm எல்லாமே vera level 😀 மதன் , மாஸ் இந்தியா ....
Love our Modiji. This is the real development
Building big office building is not important, but imagine the traffic caused sue to it and safety precautions should be high, since many people, it will be tough to evacuate.
Hope! Tamilnadu would one day become a business hub too.
💎In that office, produce and sell diamonds and cars, bikes, lifts, banks , 5star hotel😮all this is wonderful to hear. There is this office in Surat, maybe from Chennai. 😃😃
Hi madan bro , intha message intha video related illa, i have one doubt, recent aa nama TN government katra buildings aprm government competitions la yen late karunanidhi, CM Stalin , minister uthayanithi photos and building names vaikiraga, ippo government fund la pana TN emblem use panalam , party amount la use pana avunga family name use panalam.
