Aloke Baner Jee

My name is Aloke Baner Jee and I am based out of Kolkata, specifically in the 700140 area. Kolkata is a city that doesn't like to rush, and I think my way of working reflects that. My office is a modest space where I handle my daily affairs. It is not in the middle of the big high-rise buildings, but rather in a neighborhood where things feel a bit more personal. The walls are painted a light yellow that has faded over the years. I have a large wooden desk that was passed down to me, and it takes up most of the room. In West Bengal, the humidity can be quite something, so I always have the windows open to catch any breeze that might come through. I don't have a fancy website or a marketing team. People just know where I am and what I do. I spend my afternoons going through ledgers and talking to people who come by for a chat and some work. It is a quiet life for the most part. Sometimes I walk down the street to the local tea shop to get a break from the screen. The 700140 pin code is home to me, and I’ve never really thought about moving anywhere else. It’s just a normal business run by a normal person in a very busy city.
