Agro Industries Development Corporation Ltd

Our office is in Om Tower on the second floor. If you know Chowringhee Road, you know how crowded it gets around here. We are at number 32, right in the thick of it. The building has been here for years and so have we. Inside, it's mostly rows of filing cabinets and old wooden desks. We work on various agro projects, mostly dealing with the paperwork side of things. There’s always a lot of people coming in and out with documents and questions. It’s a bit noisy because of the street traffic outside, but the high ceilings help a little with the heat. We drink a lot of tea while we go through the reports. It’s a government-linked setup, so things move at their own pace. We aren't trying to be the fastest or the flashiest. We just do the job that’s assigned to us. Sometimes the computer system is slow and we have to wait, so we just chat about the news or the weather. It’s a very traditional way of working. Most of us have been here for a long time and we know the routine inside out. It’s just a regular office life on one of the busiest streets in Kolkata. We show up, do the filing, talk to the farmers or agents who visit, and go home. It is what it is.
