Kuntal Mukherjee

I'm Kuntal Mukherjee and I’ve lived in Howrah for most of my life. My address is in the 711404 area, which is a place that has its own rhythm. Howrah isn't like the shiny parts of Kolkata across the river. It’s older, more crowded, and feels more real in a way. I work from a small space here. It’s nothing special to look at, just a few chairs, a table, and the tools I use every day. The humidity here can be really tough, especially in the monsoon, but you get used to it after a few decades. I didn't go to any fancy business school. I just learned by doing things and making mistakes along the way. Some days I spend more time talking to people on the street than actually working, but that’s how connections are made in a place like this. My family has been in this area for a long time, so there’s a lot of history in these streets. I don't have a big plan for expansion or anything like that. I just want to keep doing what I’m doing and make sure the people who come to me are satisfied with what I provide. It’s a simple life with simple goals. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles to get the job done right. I just show up every day and do my best with what I have.
