Freedom Web

If you know the Battala Bazar area near the PWD office in Agartala, you’ve probably walked past us. Freedom Web is tucked away right there in Melar Mart, and it’s a pretty lively spot to be. We’re located near the PWD office, so there’s always people moving around and plenty of noise from the market. Our shop is filled with cables, routers, and a few old computer towers that we use for testing things. It’s not the tidiest place, but we know exactly where everything is. We spend most of our hours helping people get their internet working or fixing a website that’s gone down. Sometimes the power goes out in the bazar and we just have to sit and wait with a cup of tea until things come back on. We aren't interested in sounding like a big corporation because we’re just local folks who happen to know a lot about the web. You might find us leaning over a motherboard or trying to explain to a customer why their signal is weak in the back room. The walls are mostly covered in notes we’ve scribbled to ourselves and a few old calendars. We don’t use any script when we talk to people; we just tell them what’s wrong and how we think we can fix it. It gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but with the market right outside, there’s always something interesting to see. We just keep working until the sun sets over the bazar.
