Soumitra Sen Chaudhury

Soumitra Sen Chaudhury is the name on the door here at 4/20 Marconi Ave in Durgapur. This part of the city, with the pin code 713205, is fairly quiet compared to the main market areas. I set up here because I liked the trees along the avenue. The building itself is a bit older, and you can see some wear and tear on the stairs, but it has character. I spend most of my days inside, dealing with whatever work has piled up. It is a very basic setup. I have a wooden desk that has been with me for twenty years and a couple of chairs for visitors. There isn’t a team of receptionists or a marketing department here. It’s just a straightforward place where I do my business. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, so I just take a break and sit on the porch for a bit. Durgapur is an industrial town, and you can feel that practical energy even here on Marconi Ave. I don't see the point in making things look more complicated than they are. If someone comes to see me, they get exactly what they see. No polish, no fancy jargon, just a guy in his office. It might be a bit dusty sometimes, but that’s just how it goes when you’re busy working and don't have time to clean every single corner every day.
