Material World

Material World is located on the third floor of Shree Ramkrishna Apartment. Being in Bangur Park means we are right in the middle of Rishra. It’s an older building, and climbing up to the third floor keeps us moving every day. The space here is filled with all sorts of items we handle. Hooghly is a place where people know each other, so we see a lot of the same faces coming through our doors. We started out at 89 63 Bangur Park because it was a convenient spot for the local transport. Inside, it’s mostly just shelves and desks. We don't have fancy decorations or a reception desk. It’s more of a place where we do the actual work of managing materials. The view from the windows shows the rooftops of Rishra, which is nice when we take a break for tea. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty with everything we move around, but that's just the nature of the business. We’ve been here for a good amount of time now and have gotten used to the quirks of the building. The stairs can be a bit steep if you are carrying something heavy. We don’t really spend money on big ads or anything like that. We just focus on what’s in front of us. Most of our day is spent checking inventory and talking to people who stop by. It’s a simple setup but it works for what we do. We like being part of the Bangur Park community and the local Hooghly vibe.
