Ajay Kumar Bansal & Co

Our office is over at F-27 in Mansarover Colony, right off the main Ramghat Road here in Aligarh. We are quite easy to find if you look for Pipal Wala Park; we are just around the corner from there. It’s a decent area, though it gets a bit crowded with traffic on the main road during the afternoons. We have been in this spot for a long time now. The office isn't much to look at from the outside, just a regular door in the colony, but inside we stay pretty busy. There’s usually a stack of ledgers on the table and the sound of a ceiling fan humming in the background. We are just a small group of people who know how to handle the numbers. Most of our day is spent looking at screens or checking through physical receipts that people bring in. It's not the kind of place with a big lobby or leather chairs. We have plastic chairs for visitors and a lot of shelves filled with old folders. Sometimes we get a bit behind on things when the internet acts up or there’s a local festival and half the staff can’t make it in, but we always catch up eventually. The park nearby is a nice landmark, and sometimes we take a walk there just to clear our heads after staring at spreadsheets all day. We like being part of the Aligarh community and seeing the same clients year after year. It feels like home.
