Bibel Mondal

My name is Bibel Mondal and I run this small business in Alladi village. We are located in the Besudebpur Jemari post area, under the Salanpur police station in Burdwan district. This isn't a big company with many employees. It’s mostly just me doing the work from my home and a small shed I use for storage. I don't have a storefront with big windows or a sign. Most people in the village just know where I live and come by when they need something. I deal with various goods depending on what people are asking for and what I can get from the local markets. My day is spent mostly on my feet, moving things around or traveling to nearby areas to pick up stock. I keep all my notes in a paper diary because I don't use a computer for my work. It’s a very simple and quiet way of doing business. The roads in Alladi are not great, especially when it rains, so things can get a bit slow. I don’t have any fancy brochures or a mission statement. I just try to do my job every day and keep things moving. Burdwan is a peaceful place to live, and I like being able to work for myself right here in my own community. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough for me and my family to get by every year.
