Need to be mentioned that, Mahima Mishra is deemed to be a pioneer in the field of industrial growth in Odisha. OSL began its journey with stevedoring in 1978 under the visionary leadership of Mahimananda Mishra and has now grown into a business conglomerate with over 10,000 workers.
OSL now operates many verticals of business activities catering to a wide variety of regional and global clients. With over 4 decades of experience in successfully handling mining operations in Odisha, OSL has been equipped with proficiency in development and operations of mines, overburden removal, open-pit surface mining and transportation of ore.

Passion for excellence and operational efficiency has made OSL the preferred stevedore at present.

Being a major corporate house in Odisha over the years, the OSL Group has extended significant support in a bid to battle against the apocalyptic Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, it has left behind impactful CSR activities with a focus on pandemic relief measures, education, healthcare, development of community infrastructure, et al.
