Kanhayalal Sharma

Kanhayalal Sharma’s office is located in Rahinat, right across from the Cisco building. It’s funny seeing such a big modern structure right outside our window while we work in a much simpler environment. The office here is pretty basic, just the essentials for handling tax work and accounting. We don’t have fancy software for everything, so there is still a lot of pen-and-paper work and physical filing involved. The street outside can get pretty loud with the traffic going past, but once you’re inside, it’s mostly just the sound of typing or someone flipping through a thick ledger. We’ve been at this address for a while now, and the routine hasn't changed much over the years. You won't find any polished marble or leather sofas here. Instead, there are metal cupboards filled with folders and a clock on the wall that’s always a few minutes fast. People stop by when they need help with their filings, and we do what we can to sort it out. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from morning until evening. We take our lunch breaks together and usually talk about the cricket scores or the weather. It isn't a high-pressure corporate environment, just a small local business trying to do things the right way for the people in Cuttack. Most of our clients have been coming to us for years and we know them quite well because we see them every season.
