Industrial Development Company

Industrial Development Company is based out of Balitikuri in the Kalitala area of Howrah. If you know Kolkata, you know how busy and crowded this part of town can get. Our place is right in the middle of all that activity. The building is tucked away behind some other shops, so you have to keep an eye out for the sign. It’s a humid place, and the walls always seem to need a new coat of paint because of the monsoon rains. Inside, it’s mostly just shelves and workbenches. We have a small team of people who have been with us for years. We don't do much in terms of advertising or public relations. Most of our days are spent coordinating things and making sure we have enough supplies for the week. The streets in Balitikuri are narrow, so getting large items in and out takes some patience and skill from the drivers. We usually have the radio playing in the background while we work. It’s a very practical environment. There are no fancy meetings or corporate jargon here. We just talk about what needs to be finished by the end of the week. It’s a bit of a maze in this part of Howrah, but we’ve made our home here. We are just local people trying to run a steady business in a very busy city. It’s noisy, it’s hot, but it’s our daily reality.
