Ching Tam Ventures Private Limited

You can find us over at Shougrakpam Amorjit Singh’s house in Samushangshantipur Awang Leikai. It is in the Wangoi area of Imphal West. We are just a small group of people who decided to start Ching Tam Ventures. We wanted to do something that involved both the hill areas and the plains, which is why we picked that name. We don’t have a big staff or a fancy office building with signs. It is mostly just us sitting in the front room or out in the yard figuring out our next steps. We take on different kinds of projects, mostly whatever seems useful for the people living around here. Sometimes it is helping move goods from one place to another, other times it is more about helping people get their own small ideas off the ground. It is a bit of everything. We aren’t experts in every single thing, but we know the local area and the people here very well. We talk to the shopkeepers and the laborers every day to see what is going on. It is a very hands-on way of doing business. We don't have a marketing department or anything like that. If we do a good job, people tell their relatives and friends, and that is how we get more work. It is a slow way to grow, but it feels a lot more real. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It is a busy life in Imphal, but we like being right in the middle.
