Airovient Fan And System Pvt. Ltd.

Out in Joka, on Bakrahat Road, things are a little slower than in the city center. Our workshop at number 165 is where we make fans and air systems. It’s fitting, because the Thakurpukur area can get incredibly hot and stuffy. Airovient Fan And System Pvt. Ltd. isn't a fancy name for a fancy place; it's just a big shed-like building with a lot of metal blades and motors lying around. You can hear the testing booth from the street—just a constant whirring sound as we check the airflow. We spend our days balancing blades and tightening bolts. It’s greasy work, and your hands are rarely clean. The road outside is often under repair, so there's always a bit of mud or dust coming in through the vents. We have a small office tucked in the corner where the paperwork gets done, but most of the action is on the floor. We aren't a huge corporation; we’re just a local business that knows how to move air around. We talk about the local football scores while we work and drink way too much chai. Some of the guys have been working with motors since they were kids. It’s just what we do. We don't have a website with moving pictures or anything; we just have our fans and the hope that they keep someone cool during the long Bengal summers. It is hard work but it keeps us going.
